Tire Size Dilemma

I am going to purchase new tires this spring for my 07 Supercrew 4x4 F150 with a 2" Leveling Kit and a 1.5" AAL. I really would like the BFG Mud Terrain KM2 in the 33x12.5-18 but the price is a little out of my budget. I did find a BFG All Terrain that is also my OEM tire in a 305/65R/18 for a $100.00 cheaper a tire than the KM2's. My questions are, will the 305 fit, and with the majority of my miles driven on highways, do ya guys think the All Terrain is a better bet or save up for the KM2's. Also just an add on, the BFG All Terrains do not come in a 33x12.5-18

On highway and wet and snow, an AT will always be better than a MT. The MT will always be better on mud.

I have the BFG 305/65/18s with Bilstein 2" leveling kit up front and they fit perfectly, no rubbing no issues

Maybe check out other brands? Nitto TGs are generally cheaper than BFGs from what I've seen. Plus they look much better IMO.

305/65R18 is a great size!

The 305x65x18 AT which is close to 34 inches tall is the way to go if the majority of your driving is on the highway. The KM2's if you do a lot of offroading or just having them for the good look's!
