Changed out my 05 f-150 SC 4x4 tires today..Went from OEM Americraps 255/70/17 to Firestone Destination A/Ts 285/70/17

Unbelievable difference in ride,look,handling!! Truck feels stuck to the road!!
got em online clevelandtire.com ..think its a sub of tirerack..Two minutes after I ordered them another online dealer had em for $55 less..my loss..but

paid $655 delivered $78 mount/balance ..$733 done deal at the local Firestone dealer store!!
This same clown wanted $1,006 out the door for same tires last week..Hey u gotta keep the lights on..just not on my dime!!..lol

 

Would never go bigger than 285's..was going to go 315/70/17..real glad i didnt..got alot of help on this forum..so thoght id help back..

They are a nice tire. I had them too.

 

this size'll fit my fx2 no 4x4? with no leveling kit?
running stock 255/65/r17 now

 

you dont have an fx2 for one, and not likely

Good to know.
The more folks I engage on this forum, the more I'm convinced that 285s are the optimum size for filling the well and increasing capability with a minimal affect on performance, mileage, clearance, and speedo settings.
Sure - you can go wider and taller easily enough, but it will begin to cost you.

 

Looks good, any other planned mods for the truck?

 

No not really ...as its my work truck with a bedslide for the tools.The emergency lights were added and they move traffic when Im needed as an emergency responder.

 

Oh yeah its all stock 4x4 suspension, like I read here before why mess with it

 

Ya anything to get off those stock "pizza cutters". Where's the pics?

 

I posted Ashley's pics a few post up^^
