Hey guys new to the forum, just bought my 03 F250 XL today and loving it. Just thought id post a pic and get some feedback.. Also my first mod is for a new wheel/tire combo.. Currently have 16in MB Motorsports V Drive wheels and am looking to upgrade to 20-22in wheels dont know on the tires yet, most my miles will be highway but would still like an aggressive tread suggestions?? Thanks.

I am using a 285/70 Load Range E BF Goodrich TA/KO. Fits well on the stock 17 inch wheel, no rubbing, fairly aggressive tread but not super loud on the hiway, extra inch or so helps fill the wheel wells up a little more. Great for towing, good dry and wet traction, good snow and wet grass, decent ice traction.

Nice truck, but come down here to the South and get away from that white stuff!

WOW! Thanks everyone for the great welcoming responses and compliments on the truck as well as the recommendations. I will have to take a look at the KO's.
Steve- I live for the snow, i would probably melt in the south. haha
Cannot wait to throw my sled in the bed tom and get some slick pictures of the truck/sled combo should really look good. I plan on doing a ton to this truck so keep an eye out for my posts and build threads thanks guys!

Nice truck, and welcome. Living in Jackson you will need some good tires. I used to work in the area. Also what are you planning to do with the truck? Are you going to be towing any at all? I think that might make a diffrence with wheel size. I don't think 20-22" wheels will hold up under towing or hauling real heavy loads, but hopefully someone with more knowledge will know.
