Unhappy What tire do I need ?

Hi guys I would appreciate any help that I cn get on this question that I have. I have a 03 f150 sport 2x4 with 285/50r20 good year tires. I want to go to a 17" or 18" wheel for more quality ride. I would like to put 265/70r17 on my truck with 17x8 wheels.

Looking at the pro comp 1059 or 1079 wheels and general grabber at2 tires. Driving on road 90% I live in FL so need wet traction and sometimes have to drive through minor off road situations.

Any suggestions?

The BFG at ko is probably one of the best tires you can get and will last a long time.

I don't think you can beat the Michelin LTX M/S for ride, traction, and longevity. Great traction in wet weather, very smooth, and go about 65,000 miles or further if you rotate often. I am on my third set. One on a Silverado, one on an expedition and now the 265/70/17s on my F-150.
