I am strongly considering them as well but they will be significantly louder in road noise compared to an At3 open Country.
From the research and reviews I've read they will not be louder than AT3. Better wet traction too. I guess I'll find out soon. lol

Cooper Discoverers AT3 XLT are pretty dope and I recommend. Running 295/70/18 on 18 stocks. Added some 1.5” mammoth wheel spacers for a lil more poke. RC 3” Lift kit for more aggressive stance

I was curious why you blank out your plate?

You drive around with it exposed im assuming??

I was always wondering why people do this? Am I missing something?

BFG K02 275/70R18, 2" Readylift, and Roadmaster Active Suspension. Even with all that and a shell, I'm still getting decent fuel mileage.

I'm gonna be honest here and say I'm being vain and at the same time, I don't now much about tires. I am getting my F150 soon and I woud like a more aggressive looking tire, but it would be mainly for looks at this point. (I do enjoy the truck for it's utility purposes, but for instance I only put 15k miles on my '17 that I bought 4.5 years ago)

I'm getting a '22 F150 Lariat with the sport package and the 20" rims. When I look at it now as it sits on the lot, it just looks...honestly, kinda like crap with the stock tires they have on there. I'm asking the dealer if they have any options for a more agressive looking tire, but I thought I would ask here as well for suggestions

I live in Florida so good rain performance is pretty important to me and while I don't plan on a ton of off roading, we are looking at getting a camper trailer to pull around from time to time (Likely mostly within the state and if not in the state then it would be during summer).

Here is a picture of the truck I'm getting, Any suggestions?:

Edit: I should note that at this time I have no plans on leveling it. I don't really like the front rake, but I want to live with it for now.

Hey Guys, just got done swapping off the 295/70’s for the 35x12.50r18 Ridge Grappler. I am happy to report ZERO rubbing with a RC 2” level with rear block/shock kit.

Did the RC lift have any issues. Just started looking and the Ready lift is the “only one for the new model years”

Take a look at the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. I swapped my ugly plain stock tires with these and are great. Low noise and perform well in rain. No complaints thus far. Have had them since September.

I would consider the replacement tires weight that you are adding vs. what you are removing. I see the Powerboost emblem on the door. I would refer you to look into issues others have had when adding a tire with an increased weight. A slight change may not become an issue but some have mentioned when going larger or changing it was an E rated tire that messed up the way the PB operates and ended up switching again. Costly mistake. Research that issue here first, is my advice. The dealer will tell you anything to get their hands deeper into you pockets.

Thanks for the heads up. I think what I'll do is just live with the stock tires for now and research it more . I don't want to rush into it, esp if it's going to mess with the performance of the truck (Not talking MPG, but how it actually operates)

You are welcome. I simply wanted you to read up a little on it. I only read the same here, no real experience being I have a diesel. If you scroll around or do a search there is numerous people who have shared the good, and the bad of it. Hate to see you spend $1k and not be happy.
You can start digging deeper into tires, I did the same and think there is a couple in 20" who make a slightly larger and aggressive tread that is not E rated and under 50#. I explored this myself but ended up sticking with 18" and buying a set of Tremor take off wheels and the tires are about 45# per tire and a 33" diameter.
Its endless but take your time and the PB is unique, enjoy it.

edit********I went to Toyo tires website and saw the Open Country AT3 in 275/60-20 in the SL standard load rating and only weighs 42# (not the LT version, much heavier being an E rated tire). That was the tire I was checking out if I was going to a 20" wheel, but decided to stay at 18".
Thats probably your best bet and that is a 33" tall tire as well.
Hope that helps you some.
