Tyres

Hello - thought I would post this to contribute to the ongoing tyre size thread.
I eventually managed to find some BF Goodrich 315 x 70 x 17 A/T 's - fitted them on the standard rims, no lift kits, levelling kits etc... and they fit pretty much perfectly. No rubbing etc... This is a 2005 F150 FX4 by the way.
Have been out in the desert with them and they are awesome.

Truck looks good too - I still don't understand why Ford would fit a truck with such small tyres.

Hey nickb-

Just noticing your spelling of the word "tire". What part of the world do you reside in? Are there deserts in the U.K.?

Hey Mr PC

Yeah - search engines based in the US get confused about the spelling as well!!
I am a South African, born in the U.K. presently living in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Great desert driving over here.

The Ford F150 has only recently been made available in the UAE. There were some restrictions around the private vs. commercial use of pickup's. That was sorted out so I think we will see more trucks over here soon. I know Nissan are bringing in the Titan soon, and Toyota the Tundra.
I bought this Truck a few months ago - I have some real challenges trying to find accesories for it, and the local Ford agents are clueless.
