Well I had said that I was not going to clean the white letters on the tires because I was getting new ones today =) So here they are

35" Toyo Open Country M/T's

Just got back from the tire shop and very happy.

They really make the truck look awesome. But I have two questions.

1. Won't the larger size tire change your speedometer / odometer readings and change how the ABS/traction control works? I know it doesn't matter if you get a bigger wheel and a smaller profile tire and the diameter of the whole wheel & tire set up stays about the same. But, in this case the new tire looks much larger. Could this cause an issue?

2. How are they on the highway at around 60 mph? Are they super noisy, or not much different?

Looking good Pockets. I had the same BFG AT on my F150 before I sold it. I really liked those tires.

I just picked up some Cooper Zeons for my Dodge Ram.

It's amazing how switching the tires changes the look of the truck.

Sure will be easier to dress these don't have to worry about getting dirty dressing on the white letters anymore and all I need to do is a quick brush and no scrubbing white letters.

Those are 18" rims stock to the truck (chrome package) and yes the tires were very expensive haha

1. Sure will. But I have a programmer in the truck for custom tunes and I can change the tire size so the spedo will be accurate =) It's an edge CTS programmer with custom tunes from Power Hungry Performance. The ABS sucks anyway and these are not much bigger than the previous ones but are much more massive than the stockers

2. No problems at all and not much more noise than the AT tires I had on it before. I can hardly hear them with the windows up, and when the music is on forget about it.

You already have a leveling kit right? Is the rubbing on the upper control arm?

You'll want some rims with some negative offset to push the rim and tire out of the fender a little. Fuel makes some nice rims, Discount Tire Direct has some nice ones as well.

Yea have the leveling kit

Just ordered Moto Metal MO961's and going to put the chrome insert in instead of the red. They are 18"x9" with an 18 offset bolt pattern 6:135 will start a new thread once they are on :)

Ordered them from treaddepot.com I would recommend getting anything that you need from them very helpful and great service

Awesome, can't wait to see them! I just saw your thread over on F150online. So you were ready to buy a 6" lift that fast eh? :laughing:
