Toyo Open Country 285/75R17. About 34.1 inch diameter. I put them on some Ford factory 17" alloy takeoffs that I found on Craiglist. Eastwood Satin Black wheel paint. Chrome lug nuts from newer Ford truck takeoff.

Anytime you go to a larger tire, you’re going to see additional wear on steering components. Depending on how big you go you may rub at full lock. You just need to stay on top of maintenance and check your steering components regularly. I would go through the front end just before you put the new tires and wheels on.
Ive been running the Falkens and have been very impressed. Here’s my thread on their performance.

My 01’ 7.3 F350 SD calls for 80 psi tires.
To find 35x12.5 80 psi tires that aren’t a MT, you pretty much have to go with 18” Nittos.
I’m running Coopers now. 35x12.5 17’s. Lighter tires. Work fine towing. Mushy with a camper. They won’t sell me a new set.
Depends how you use your truck and what the tire shop is willing to put on.

This is what I put on my truck 2 years ago and they've been a good tire so far. My truck is an 03 F350 XLT SC 4x4.
https://www.discounttiredirect.com/b...sa-all-terrain I bought them on sale when they were at $97.00 each, so for the price I think it's a good deal.
