20" Tire Recomendations

I have a 2004 Lariat with 2006 FX4 20" rims. The tires are Pirelli Scorpions P275/55 R20 111S M+S. I like them but they give a slight steering nibble and want to get something different. I don't do off-road so I don't need that type of tire. I like the new aggressive tread patterns and want something that can handle weight and speed. What shoes do I get my baby?

I agree. I'd suggest the Toyo AT's, Nitto Terra Grapplers or the BFG AT KO's. I'd go with a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) if you have a 4x4.

What do you think of these. I have a 4x2 so I lean more toward the street/performance line.



Got any pictures of a 305/50 on the stock Ford 20" rims? I would like to see how much they spread out over the rim.

NWAF-150, I think the FX2 grille would look great on your truck.

Check out the specs and uses reviews on tires you're interested in.

I've got Yokohama H/T-S 5052 in 285-50-20 and like them, they also come in 305-50-20 if you can fit those in front.

It's a great upgrade. I paid about $125 or so from www.getfordparts.com

Grill - 7L3Z-8200-CPTM

Blue Oval (6") - 5F9Z-8213-AA

ask for Andy Serpa

You might want to get the HD headlights too. You will need to paint the grille and the surrounding frame. I used a rattle can of Satin Black with a Clear over that, but I didn't have to replace my surrounding frame as I kept the chrome. It's a great deal at only $113.00 for the grille and because it's stock Ford, it fits perfectly. I have the 2007 FX2 grille and the 2006 FX4 20" rims. Rarely does anyone guess right what year it really is.

It your case you might not, but I don't know if it comes seperately.
