Same here I have a set on my F150 that have been on there for I don't know how many years and they still have more than half the tread left. If I ever need tires again, I'll put another set of these tires on in a heartbeat. At my age I'll probably never have to change this set out again.

 

I have always done that in the past, but I went ahead and bought the maintainse plan with these. They will rotate, balance and check the tire pressure anytime I want to carry it in. I always carry my Battery air wrench and breaker bar when I go on the road like more than 50 miles or so just to be sure. Also, I carry my Milwaukee air compressor along too. All of that fit nicely under the back seat of the F250.

 

I've been wondering about how these would look without the C-caps. These wheels were not my first choice. They had a Fuel wheel there on display that I really liked but they were on backorder and didn't know when they would be in. I started to wait and put the stock wheels on then change them out when the new ones came in but then I saw these and they kind of caught my eye. The only thing I don't really like is the center cap with the Vision logo on it.

 

Same here. I really need to get a bigger cordless impact to put in the truck. My current ones can't touch the lug nuts on my vehicles. I really need to get some more torque wrenches and whatnot, for all the vehicles.

I like those tires. Thinking same ones but 20" wheel for my 350. Do front tires clear well when you turn, any contact whatsoever?

 

No, nothing scrapes bangs or bumps lock to lock. Now these are R18's so I don't know about the 20's. I do know they ride good, they do produce a slight bit of road noise but hey! it's a truck.

 

I guess it's time for an update. After putting about 4000 miles on them and checking my fuel milage on every fill up I have decided that these 295's might not have a good idea Afterall. I lost a little over 4 mpg. I was getting on average of 17.5 mpg now I'm looking at 12.5 to 13.5 depending on how I drive. The delyer gauge is consistent with what I see on paper. Before on a fill-up it would say I had 525 miles to go. Now it shows a little over 300. Actually, the gauge is pretty close, I wouldn't trust my life with it but it does give a pretty accurate reading. I checked it several different times and both are within a mile per gallon or less.
I'm wondering if there could be something else that could be wrong that's causing this other than these tires.

 

Wheels are still 18", yes?
A difference of 4 mpg is pretty much impossible IMO with just a change of tires from what you had.
Could it be that the new wheels and tires give it a more aggressive look, and in turn you drive it more aggressively now?

 

Pretty basic, but did you correct for the new tire size? 4mpg under the same conditions and just larger tires is pretty drastic.

 

On my 2019 XLT, I’m running a set of Falken 275/65R20 , AT 3W on Lariat 20” wheels, that the previous owner installed. When I went to pick up the truck, he included a nearly new set of Continentals 275/65-18 on the OEM 18” wheels, complete with hub covers and lug nuts. I’m undecided if I want to sell the 18” wheels and tires, or just keep them to run when the Falkens wear out. This is pretty much a daily driver and won’t be hauling anything near the capacity of the truck.

I had thoughts about mounting some aggressive tread snow tires on the 18’s, for the 2-3 days that we just might get 4-6” of snow. Nah…I’m to old to play in the snow, anymore.

Well impossible as it may be I'm just saying what I see. And no, my hot rod days are over. However, I will get on it if need be. Wheels still 18", nothing else has changed accept these are wider and maybe a little taller. The only thing else I changed was I added mudflaps, and I did put an F150 valance on the truck that wasn't on the truck when I bought it. I know it sounds strange that's why I wondering if there could be something else that's causing it. I changed the oil, filter and fuel filter then a little later I put brakes all around and I can't see how that could be a problem.
I really noticed the loss of mph when we went to the outer banks a month or so ago. I filled up several times in a row and checked it each time and it was obvious that something was going on. The only other problem I have now other that the loss of mph is I can't get the flat tire monitor to shut off. I've tried resetting it a couple times, but it still shows one or two tires a pound off when cold, but the pressure sometimes shows all 4 are the same after driving a short way. I've checked the tire pressure with 3 different gauges, and all seem to be right at 55lb.

 

You know I was wondering about that, and I looked in the manual several times but never found anything about it. I asked a guy at the Ford place, and he said it shouldn't matter so I never thought about it anymore. I thought the tire place did all that at least they said they reset everything.

 

Awhh come on you can never get to old to do that.lol I'm 77 and still ride the roads if and when we get snow.

 

What is your factory tire size? Its printed on the door jamb label. You can take that size and go to any of the online tire calculators and plug it in along with your new size and it'll show the % difference in relation to distance traveled. If your truck was not set to the new size your odometer and speedometer are slow and you're actually putting on more miles than recorded so not getting as bad of mpg as you're calculating.

 

That sounds understandable, I guess. I believe the truck had 275/70-18 tires before the change. They were what came on the truck when it was new. I guess I'll have to figure out how to reset the thing.
