Post New bigger tires

Hi all,

I have had my 2002 F150 for about a year and a half now and I am really sick of the small tires that came with the truck. Can someone here recommend tires that would work well with the truck. It was a used truck when I bought it so I am not sure that the facotry tires/rims are on it. I was hoping for something like 30-34 inches in diameter or so. The rims I have on there now are 16 inch.

Thanks and I appreciate any tips you may have.

-- Nik

If it's a 4x2, go with a 265/75-16 (32x10.50). If it's a 4x4, go with a 285/75-16 (33x11.50).

Would 295s fit on the stock rims for an '02? What looks better on the 97-03 4x4, a 295 or a 285?

crank your t-bars and throw a set of 35's under your truck. you will be happy with the way it looks.

NAK150, both sizes will fit the OEM wheels and look fine. I didn't mention the 295/75-16 because it's an odd size.
