Tires
Ive done my share of scanning on this forum and just cannot come up with a direct answer. My 2011 F250 FX4 came with 265/70 on 17" rims. On these stock rims what is the largest E load rating tire that i can fit without level or lifting? Thanks

I have factory 20" rims and 285 tires so our number will be off quite a bit. Oh I yearn for the days when the tire company's would just tell you the darn height x width x rim size. They just had to muddy it up with aspect ratios.
Anyway, I have tires that are 35.4" tall and 11.8" wide. I can easily put 37" tall without leveling the front. Go to a good tire website and they will have the equivalent inch sizes next to all the aspect ratio tire sizes.

my truck came with 17" wheels also and honestly I hate them, I think they look like steel wheels on the XL model. they really really look too plain to me. the generals on them are down to 3/32 tread after 16000 miles, for those that don't know tread depth that is 1/32 away from replacement. that is the worst tire I have ever had, to top it off. my truck had a pretty hard pull to the right, took it in for an alignment they adjusted it slightly. it still pulled bad, I rotated the tires and the pull went totally away. so one of the tires is causing the pull, I also ran a few general tires back in the mid to early 90's they were bad tires too, did I say generals suck.
what I plan to do is buy some used 18" wheels the ones that came on the lariet model, and run 275/70/18 BFG all terrains on them, this will change the appearance of the truck a ton, as it is the tires on there look puny.

Even the ContiTracs on my 18" wheels look too small to me.
I guess mine are lasting a bit longer than those Generals; of course still owned by Continental Tire.
Just waiting for the day I have a reasonable need to replace them.
I paid for these ContiTracs with the truck purchase so may as well use them.
