well i got some new rubber for the new truck already, the stock goodyear a/s weren't going to cut it for me



so i got 275 70 18 bfg's, it rides and drives great

also when installing my exhaust i notice that their is a large sensor mounted on the rear brake caliper both side, i know for a fact that my 09 didn't have this

and also with the bigger tires i get the rsc kicks in on fast low speed turns but not on fast harder turns, my dealer said they can fix it with no problems

 

looks good!

 

I did the same thing. The Michelins that came on my XLT were too small, 255/65/70. I replaced them a nice set of Yokohamas, 265/70/17 and wow, what a difference! Sold then Michelins the same week on Craigslist.

 

Big improvement...you're going to like those BFGs!

 

well it wasnt just about size, it was i needed a better tire for mud and snow and why not go a little bigger also

 

That thing isn't a sensor it is some kind of NVH reducer. It is just a weighted rubber mounted damper.

 

The new rubber looks good IMO. Did you install the cat-back yet? PICS?

 

BFG's cost me 1.5mpg on my last F150. I had Discount Tire put me back into Michelin AT2's and got my MPG back. Great looks and snow perf, just a high price and heavy tire for economy.

 

Truck looks good. BFG's are my favorite tire. Can't go wrong

 

Let me know what you dealer does to fix the TC problem. There are two area's in town where I have noticed that mine kicks on.

Looks good!

 

yes i got it on friday, it looks really good with the blue, i will get some pic soon as the weather is a bit nicer

also it was nice that my old kit made for the 04 to 09 fit still fit on the new truck and it is a little louder with the 4.6 than the 5.4

well they are a 10ply tire vs stock p rated tires or 8plys but my cost was still less than 200 a tire

my dealer does a few lifted truck a year, the service manager said takes a half hour to reprogram it at a cost of 30 bucks

 

 

Great looking tire on a great looking truck... Nice...

 

a little bit clean

 

I agree a little bigger is better, looks really good
