Tire size an issue??

I have a 2010 F150 lariat 4x4, crew cab 6.5' bed. Stock tires are 275-65-18 (I believe) and they are goodyear wranglers. The two rears are seperating so I picked up some take-offs as replacements (got all 4) They are Michelin ltx, 275-70-18 off a 2012 F350. They, according to the tire websites for the two tires, are 1" taller than stock, totalling 33.2" tall. Will these fit without a lift?

Probably but you'll need your PCM reflashed for the larger tire size or your speedometer and odometer will be off.

275/70-18's fit just fine on my 11. I wouldn't waste your time getting the computer reflashed either. On my 11 everything works perfect with this taller tire.

Nice to see you back Hank! I thought you were trading yours in for a SD.

I have the exact same size and my speedo is dead on now according to GPS... Was a little slow with the old stock tires. As for fit, I have a 2" leveling kit, so I had no issues. I'd imagine there shouldn't be any issue for you either as they are not very wide.

Stephen - your results are suprising. Most Ford speedometers are 2-3 MPG fast at 65-70 MPH (it's built into the dash on purpose) but the odometers are dead on.

If your speedometer is now correct, then your odometer is now wrong.
