I have a 2006 F150. I'm putting a BDS 6in lift on it with 20x12 KMC Rockstars. Now I just need to figure out what kind of tire to use. there are so many options. I know M/T look really good, but im not going to be in mud, only the road. Plus I hear M/T wear much faster. If anyone has pic's for examples, that would also be helpful. Thanks! ~Jenn~

 

Heres a Pic of my truck with Mud Grapplers on it Mud Tires. But heres an example like you asked for. But REALLY well in the MUD haha heres some pics. Mayb some BFG tires? Im not really familiar with A/T tires.

Tires Up Closer

 

If you are willing to spend the money, I would get some BFGoodrich KM2s. They have a lot less road noise and vibration than the Nittos. They will not wear out as fast either.

 

Check out Procomp Extreme ATs. They have a very aggressive look and will sound a lot better on the freeway. Plus they won't wear nearly as fast as the MTs will.

 

And, they look a lot more aggressive in person than they do in pics.
I think you will be a little limited in your choices because of your 12 inch wide wheels. You need at least a 35x13.50-20 tire. If you add a little more lift, I believe Nitto makes the Terra Grappler in a metric sizing that works out to be approximately a 37x14.00-20.

 

Do you know the metric size conversion for 35x1250x20 and 35x1350x20

 

There are some charts online. The 325/60-20 is pretty common and it's a 35x13.00-20 tire.

 

I had the Pro Comp Xtreme AT's prior to my current Pro Comp MT's. I really liked the Xtreme AT's a lot (they were stolen off of my truck). I had a little over 13k miles on them and they showed very little to no wear at all. They were an aggressive looking tire yet were very quiet on the roads.

Now I really like my MT's also, very aggressive looking tire yet still very quiet on the roads. I've only got a little over 2000 miles on them right now and since I live in Hawaii I really don't see me putting many miles on them over the next couple of years so I really can't give you an honest wear input.

I honestly don't think you could go wrong with either of these tires though.

 

i hope you know that you will have to have rims drilled to fit your truck as kmc does not offer 20x12's in 6x135
