Hey folks I have a 2011 F150 Fx4 I'm going to be putting a 2 1/2 front 1 1/2 rear auto spring lift level kit in. I'm curious what you guys are running for Tires brand and size. I'm want a bit bigger and an semi aggressive tire. Right now I'm sporting the stock 275/55/r20 pirellis. Any input is greatly appreciated

 

This is my truck with LT305x55x20(33.2x12.6) Nitto Terragrapplers. I'm now running P275x60x20 Toyo AT2's which are much lighter.

 

How did you like the nittos?

 

No complaint's at all other then being heavy...I had 26K miles on them and sold them to get the Toyo AT2's I have now. Toyo makes Nitto's so their both good tires.

 

I am in the same boat you are and ultimately i went with the 2.5 autospring with 3" rear block. I will be putting 285/75/17 toyo at2's on it on Saturday. The at2's are a pretty aggressive all-terrain.

 

Don't know that that is a fair comparison between your tires. You went from an E rated LT tire to a P rated tire. They are lighter because they are 6 ply instead of 10 ply, and they are also narrower. 10.5" wide versus 12.4". So yeah, doing that will shave 30 lbs easy.

 

I don't think he was comparing, pretty sure he was just stating a fact. And they're about 14 pounds per tire lighter. 30 is a little extreme.

 

He stated they were an LT and P tire. But then again not everyone is tire savy.

OP, toyo and nitto are both great brands. If you arent doing any hauling or towing you will be fine with a p tire. The LT tire has more load capacity and less flex, although it will be a bit heavier as mentioned above. if they are going on stock rims a 275/60-20 (33 inch) tire will work and look great. The toyo at, toyo at2, or nitto terragrappler are all great choices. From my personal experience, toyo will slightly outlast nitto.

 

I put a 2" lift all the way around on mine and I am runing 295/70R18 (They're just a hair under 35" tall) Nitto Trail Grapplers and I love the stance and the traction.


I ran a 35x12.50R18 ProComp xTreme AT on my old 04 F-150 with the exact AS kit you are buying and had zero clearance issues with them.

 

According to the specs on toyo's website, the P275/60/20 weighs 43 lbs, the LT305/55/20 weighs 74 lbs.
