new 18" load E tires!
sorry if this is a repost
just saw BF Goodrich all Terrain T\A KO
LT285\65R18/E
LT305\65R18/E
LT325\65R18/E
these are listed by 4wheel parts
and says call for pricing
any one know--will all of these sizes fit a stock truck with stock wheels?

I'm not seeing them on 4wheelparts' website - maybe I'm just missing something. Nor on BFG's website. I hope you're right, however.
Do they mention a load rating? The Contis are 3640 single... the D-range from BFG is 3195. Maybe the E-range will beat the Contis? If so, BFG stands poised to make a lot of money...

I got an email from BFGoodrich about a month ago stating that this summer/fall there would a number of new tires for 17" and 18" wheel sizes for the SuperDuty (E-load). 4wheel parts may be listing them on the site, but they may not have hit the stores yet.

I just called BFG customer service and spoke with a rep. He stated he thought he'd gotten a bulletin on BFG AT and MTs for new sizes/load ranges. He looked for it and then stated "no" they are not coming out with the new sizes/load ranges for some time, if at all. That's *very* surprising to me though as I received an email stating the opposite, and the demand has got to be huge.

Your question about whether these will fit may be answered by comparing them to other size tires.
The 305/65/18 is pretty close to the same overall diameter of the the stock 275/70/18's (.6 " larger) They are slightly wider and most of the specs list them on 9-12" rims. These are about the same size as the 33x12.5R18 tires
The 325/65/18 compares more with the 35x12.5R18 tires. And are 35 inches tall and definitely needs a wider rim than stock.
I can't believe that Ford has shipped this size of tire for 2005 & 2006 model year trucks and we still don't have tire makers stepping up with replacement tires. I'm hoping that by time I wear out my conti's there is some choice of replacements in a "E" range tire.
