Toyo Proxes r/t is actualy brand its same size as stock F1's 295/45 something something 1100 installed and balanced . Prolly overpaid too. I like them a lot better then F1's plus they sound better when you burn rubber.

I'm running the F1's up front and Nitto 555R's (305/45/18) out back. No need to recalibrate anything Nosdog.

Yoyo Proxes 295/45/18. 2 tires delivered to Arlington in the brown truck, $385. + $30 at ford to mount and balance.
Hardness is 420 vs 300 for the F1s, I keep wearing the corners off of the F1s. They are rated M&S. So far they work good in the rain. I only have them on the front until I get some more.

I have the Toyo's also, stock size. They were new on the truck when I bought it...thank god!!!
Great tires, better wear than the Goodyears and wet AND dry traction is every bit as good.
