Howdy all Im goin to need new tires before heavy winter starts here in Iowa and I was shopping around for a skinny 33 inch tire for my leveled 95 f150 5.8 4x4. I am going with these wheels.

And for the tires I'm still undecided... I would like to get a set of maxxis bighorn mts in 255-85-16 but they are harder to find and the other tires I'm looking at are 285-75-16 kenda klever mts. I don't necessarily need a mud terrain tire but I do use the truck as a DD/hunting truck and I like the looks of mud tires on a truck.

I don't really wanna drop a whole lot of money on these preferably under 220/tire...

If yall have any help or advise I'll take it! Thanks,
Tye

 

I have 265/75/r16 GY Wrangler Dura-Tracs on my F250. They perform pretty well all around, and they still have an aggressive look to them without being an M/T

 

For looks? 285x75s like these...








But for snow? I'd go with the stock 235s...

 

Thank you guys! I'm looker for a taller tire than a 235 85 but we are on the right track!

 

Missed your budget price in your original post... I got the 285s in the pic from Discount Tire, zip code 76208 for price comparison. These are their "entry level" tires, meaning cheapo maypop noname import brand. I needed decent tires quick and have other plans in the works for other tires so I wanted to minimize my costs. These were under $700 out the door.

 

i run 255/85R16 bfg km2s on mine

 

Do you have a head on picture

Howdy LeoJr,

Are those 235 85 16 in the attached picture that you are referencing to snow use? I apologize for bringing up such an old thread but I am digging deep to find the right tire for my application here.

Thank You

Matt

 

I run 265/75/16's on my 96 F350 BFG KO2 All-Terrain's, really like them

Load Range E,10-ply

 

Roger that Eagle, thank you for the recommendation. Do you have any idea the tire size height of the picture that I quoted from LeoJr?

 

Based on his text, and the appearance of the tires, I would say those are 235/85R16 on that truck. Stock size. That is a good size for winter, solid traction in my experience.

 

Thank you goinboarding, I figured as much. I have a set in the garage right now waiting to go on. Now I just need to find a stock set of rims. The previous owner put some 16.5 inch rims on and finding the stock Alcoas is harder than I thought.
