Time For New Tires

I have a 2018 Ford F350 SRW with factory Michelin LTX tires in LT275/65R20 and it is almost time for new tires. The usual go to would be a BFG AT KO2. It has been recommended to look at the Falken Wildpeak AT3 as well.

I am factory height with a rear sway bar and factory wheels. I was looking at going larger to fill some of the huge wheel wells and saw BFG offers the AT KO2 in a LT325/60R20 and it appears Costco can get them. I looked online and the 275, 285 and 295 are all on back order. I tried searching, but has anyone put a LT325/60R20 on a 17+ SRW Super Duty? What other recommendations do you all have? Thanks in advance.

The 325/60R20 will want a wider rim than the Ford OEM. ( OEM rim is 8.0" wide, 325 likes a 9.5" rim)
So you would be squeezing the tire on your factory rims. Which causes squirm on the road.

I'd think you'd be happier with the LT295/65R20 It's 35.1" tall vs the LT325 at 35.4" It's also a little narrower at 11.8" vs 12.8" So it fits on the OEM rim better.

Ridge grapplers and stock.


What is the primary use of your truck?

I’m also running the 295/65/20 on a factory 20” wheel (KR chrome package wheel). They’re the ridge grapplers and it’s a stock truck suspension wise. I wouldn’t go any wider on the factory wheel

It is my daily driver so primarily around town while occasionally towing a trailer. We have had to do a few trips along I-5 from Washington to California mixed in.

I was looking at the 295/65 or a 35x12.50 but came across the 325/60 but it seems the width is an issue even on lifted trucks. I'm looking for an all-around tire for use in the PNW.

There is no snow around here and that would probably be a concern in your area.

I think the RG is kinda cute and i will go with an actual AT next time. The RG is quiet(at least when new) for the aggressiveness though.

I'm in the same boat, I just ordered the Falken's, they are being installed on Saturday, from what I read they sound very nice, I have always hated the Goodyears the truck came with.

I was looking at the BFG AT, Falkens and the Cooper Discover/Adventure AT3. I towed a travel trailer and plan on getting a 5th wheel so I had kinda decided against the BFGs as some people reported them as a little unstable under load. The Falkens have Amazing reviews for longevity, wet/snow traction, and towing. I ran the Coopers on my F150 and they were great. It basically came down to price between the two for me.

Well I went in to a local place to get pricing and they had these on clearance because they stopped carrying the Ridge Grappler and went to Terra Grappler. So I got these at almost 50% off. Couldn’t pass on them even though I had intended on getting something just a bit bigger. 285/65r 20. These are about 1/2” wider and taller than the factory tires.

Stock wheels (powder coated) and the rear has been lowered using 2” blocks.

I'd think you'd be happier with the LT295/65R20 It's 35.1" tall vs the LT325 at 35.4" It's also a little narrower at 11.8" vs 12.8" So it fits on the OEM rim better.

I agree and went with the Yokohama X-AT 295/65R20 This tire measure's 35.3" x 12" wide. It was one of 2 tires in its class the was the tallest and slightly wider. Looks perfect on the OEM wheel.

What size Falkens did you get? 285/75R20 Wildpeaks?

I was looking at the 285 or 295 BFG AT KO2 but both are on national backorder. The Falken 285 Wildpeak AT is available. I was only thinking of the 325 BFG as they were in stock. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I was looking at the BFG 35x12.50R20 but the tire shop told me no go as the load rating of each tire was less than the factory 275-65R20. The only tires with the same or higher load rating is the 285-65R20 or 295-65R20.
