Hi...new to the forum and have a few questions. After googling a few of them, I decided it would be easier to just register and ask direct. I have to be honest, this is our first Ford pickup in a very long time. My wife bought an escape last year (and loves it) and a few weeks ago, we decided to get rid of my 08 gmc 1500 and our old 99 gmc 2500. So my new to me truck is an 09 250 regular cab long box 4x. Yes, a plain old farm truck. It pulls a horse trailer occasionally and an antique tractor or two. I forgot what a 3/4 ton rides like but I think I will like the v10. One thing I will be doing is buying new tires. The stock 265/70-17 are about done for. I looked and found lots of ideas on tire sizes, but I like some pictures to look at. Thinking about 285/70-17 or maybe 275. Any issues? I dont plan on a level/lift kit or after market wheels (yet). Tires, tuner (I just got an email from 5 star that I haven't read), ehaust, ...... But, for this first question, its the tire sizing and looks. Thanks in advance.
