Manhoff - those tires look to be 34.5" tall - Are you lifted? Do they rub in the stock configuration??

Trying to help a friend - who is fixin to make an upgrade from the Contis...

Stock height on the truck, no rubbing issues and I do have an album here somewhere. I'll try to link some pics. I would love to go larger, but my days of lifted trucks are over. This truck sits plenty tall as is.[IMG][/IMG]

I just put a set of Nitto 285/70/17's on my new truck, but on my 06 that I traded off, I had great luck with Firestone Transformers (60,000 miles with probably 15,000 more left).

I know this is an old thread about the stock Continental tires but I needed to ask.

I have a 2x4 with the standard 275/65/18 highway tires. Earlier I mentioned that the truck was easily pushed to the side when someone passed me. I then readjusted the tire pressure and thought that solved the issue but it didn't.

I think that the Continental tires has very little sidewall support and this is what I feel. Has anyone else felt the way the truck is veryeasy to sway right and felt when driving straight?

I went to my dealer and talked with them about the swaying. I will be leaving the truck for them to check out.
The only thing that I think may cause this is..
1. The Continental tires not having sufficient side wall strenght and flexes too much when I have my 5th wheel hooked up.
2. Possible the trailer sway control is not working correctly and makes the truck sway.

We will keep you posted.
Ford suggested replacement tires Michelin LTX M/S for my 2x4 truck
What do you think?
Installed and out the door $300 per tire. $1,200 WOW!
