I would also like to find 275/65R18 snow tires for an extra set of 18x8 rims I have. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I always recommend the BFG All Terrain KO for winter use. (they are severe snow service rated unlike many all terrains)

They are available to fit every rim the F150 comes with.

265/70R17 to replace OE 235/75R17 or 255/70R17
285/65R18 to replace OE 275/65R18
285/55R20 to replace OE 275/55R20

Thanks weldman,
I have also been looking at the new goodyear wrangler (also sever snow rated)
tread pattern looks good but can't find any real info on it.

You are probably talking about the Wrangler AT/S, which is a decent tire, but in my opinion not as good as the BFG.

Look for the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo, or Winter Dueler.

Weldman, I agree with you on the Goodyear AT/S, I have had them and was not impressed in the heavy wet snow we usally get here.... but the new Wrangler silent armor ( http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....er+SilentArmor ) looks like it has more open area so that it will clean out more like a mud tire... hopefully without all the noise.
Most of the snow tires I have used in the past just aren't made in the 17" size that I need fot my 05 F150 yet. Thanks Jerry

I would like to find cheap priced good quality 275/65R18 snow tires. It does not have to be a name brand, just something with good cleats and wearability for snow/winter. Any suggestions?

I went with pro compall terrain. They are severe snoe rated and where recomended over the BF goodrich all terrain T/A by 4Wheel parts. They do sell both tires so I went with there recomendation. They also have but 3 get one free. I should get them this week.

snow tires

take a good look at bridgestone DMZ3. I had them on my '97 2wd and they were great. I've got a set now for my '04 but this will be the 1st winter with them on.
