BFG TA KO's - 265 or 285 on stock rims?
2004 F-150 XLT 4X4
I have read here in the past that the 285 will fit, but went by a tire place a while back and he said the 285 would make my truck ride like a "Lumber Wagon" because it has extra layers of sidewall, and will stiffen the ride.
Anyone know anything about this?? First time I have heard about this.
Also was pricing Toyo Open country AT, and they come in P and LT. Was told I only needed the P (Passenger) and not the LT(light Truck) any input on this ??
Thanks in advance

The tire guy is talking about the "load rating" of the tire. Load ratings come in A, B, C, D, E. a "D" load rated tire has more ply's and a stiffer sidewall than a "A, B, C" rated tire. Most LT tires have a "D" or "E" rating, but they do make them in "C" and sometimes lower. I was looking at the TOYO AT and it comes in a few different load ranges, just ask for a "C" load range and you'll be fine. I don't think you'll notice a "lumber wagon" ride even with the "D" laod range. They are guarenteed anyway for 30 days, at least on the OPEN COUNTRY AT, try a set and if they give you a "lumber wagon" ride take them back. anyway, good luck, hope this helps.
