HERE'S a good place if you want to play around with different tire and wheel sizes.

^ cool link wookie!
smokewagon, is it just diameter you want to go up, or diameter and a little wider? 275/60/20 will be the same width as stock (10.9") but a 33" vs. 31.9" stock. They don't really make a LT tire is this size only P rated. 275/65/20 is BIG @ 34" 285/60/20 is also beefy at 11.5" wide and 33.5" 285/55/20 is 11.5" x 32.5" in BFG's and 32.2" in Toyo I had nothing against Cooper, but they didn't make my size. Toyo and BFG were close in price so I paid a little more for rubber but will probably gain some $$ back in MPG over toyo Xtremes because they are 5lbs heavier/ tire. I wished somebody else cheaper would have a 8 ply or LT in 285/55, but nope. |
Do you want to run D rated tires?
The Cooper Discoverer A/T3 in a LT265/75/20 is E rated and 10 ply. $263. at my dealer The BFG in a LT285/555/20 is D rated and 8 ply. $363. at my dealer. The bigger BFG is $100 more per tire for a D rated with less ply and I don't know if you'll want to lose the fuel economy. http://www.mavistire.com/ProductCart/pc/_shopbysize.asp I don't mean to promote these Coopers, but they are awesome and I don't think I'll run another tire. |

The 285/55/20 is 32.5" tall , 11.5" wide it seems to fit in good with no level needed. stock275/55/20 31.9" & 10.9" I just got my BFG's installed yesterday.. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8394/...73b1dcfc_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8103/...59454c35_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8400/...65a66130_b.jpg How much did the ride quality change?

The Coopers and BFG's will probably be the 2 on my short list. I've had both on previous vehicles, and they were both good tires. I do like the looks of the BFG's a bit more though.
The BFG's in the OEM size are E rated. And the price (through tirerack) is $1256 for a set (obviously, not mounted/balanced). http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...ting=E&tab=All Also, have you checked your Ford dealer for prices? They actually have decent prices on tires around here. |
Plus shipping.

I found the cheapest price on Ebay. It was $1,496 and free shipping. Americas Tire matched them, plus I got a $100 Visa card back for buying their"best" tire.

At any rate, Sam's Club is only $70 more. |

My bad...I was thinking their prices included shipping.
At any rate, Sam's Club is only $70 more. Cooper AT3's, $1,150 installed. Lifetime balance and rotation either place. |
$100/tire is a significant difference!
Post pics of your AT3's after they are installed. I want to see them on a Super Duty. That may make the decision for me... |

I put Continentals on my 09 F-150. I think they were the LX-20. I never shifted into 4wd for the snow the past 2 winters. I really like these tires.
