Question About Tires
It's time to purchase some tires and I'm considering some Falkens. Specifically, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W All-Terrain Tire. Without making any mods, purchasing new rims or doing the "let's put them on and see" thing, I'm looking for ideas about the biggest that will fit my 2013 F-150 STX that takes the 265/60R18 without any mods. As far as I know the rims are the stock models. Thanks. Rich.

275/65 is the OEM size for 18" wheels on my 2010 Lariat so I would think 285's would have no issues on an OEM 18" wheel. 10mm is .40", so that is only .20" extra width on each side of the wheel rim.
Unless you are doing serious offroading, you may not gain anything going wider than that. In my experience off pavement, tire pressure will have a bigger impact on tire performance than tire size.

thanks for the information guys...I'm looking at whichever good name brand quality I can find at the best price along the lines of a 265 or 275 at the 65 to 75 aspect ratio and the 18" rim...all depends on when I decide to pull the trigger and spend the money...so far the Falkens look good as do a couple of others but...time will tell...

I"m running 275/60R20 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W on my 2wd 2011 Supercrew with no problems. I even have a 2" drop in the rear to level out my truck. This is the third truck I have put Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's on. Great tire! Not noise at all. I've prefer them over the BFG A/T's I had on it. WalMart on-line has the best price on tires.
