Tire Suggestions
These continentals have to go... I the problem is that i cant find much out there in the 275/65/18 size, so my question is what is another good size that would not require me to change any of the stock suspension? I am looking at going either Toyo AT or BFG AT...

Discount tire direct has 32 different tires that size, if you go 255x65x18, it's 13 different tires.

I replaced those Conti pieces of crap with Cooper Discoverer ATR, 275/70/18. I am very happy with them so far (about 2k miles on them). They are excellent in the snow, smooth and quiet riding, have a 50k tread guarantee, and they are American made.

What are the stock standard 18" rims width? 7" or ?
I think my truck will arrive with Continentals LT275/65R18 for SRW F-250
Why don't you like the tires?
Here are some Michelins at SAMS CLUB

For Wisconsin winters those Contis are useless, IMO. They might as well be slicks.
After I got rid of them, I was on a snow covered lake with my Coopers and a buddy in his 2010 F250 with the Contis. He got stuck in 4WD. I pulled him out in 2WD. Thats no bull.
They are probably a good highway tire, but snow or mud......forget about it!

I believe the Lariat rim width is 8".

Interesting... 295/75/18 should be 35.4" but Nitto list these as 34.4"... the stock Conti's are list as 33.4", so the 295 are going to a bit taller which throw your speedo off just a bit... but considering my speedo already reads fast it might actually make it read more accurately! LOL

When I asked at the time I orderd my truck if I could specify Michelin's I was told no. I did NOT want Continentials. Of course they came in with Conti's. My dealership swapped the Conti's out for Michelin's without batting an eye....Customer Care at it's best!

LT295/70/18 Nitto Terra grappler AT are on my stock Lariet 18x8 rims. Great tires! I ordered the truck and paid for at tires. It came with MS Continental. The dealer checked and said this is their AT tire. I wasn't happy and peeled them off at 1471 miles. They are for sale!
