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?

The 285s will fit with no issues. The 305s should fit, but I can't speak from experience. I think it depends on the front spring rating of your truck.

 

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...

 

Only an 05 or 06 with the front coil springs

 

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.

 

tire rack said the same and has had goodyear listed for some time.. even thou it's about time so many guys can heave the ng contis that ford is inlove with

 

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.

 

Just in the need of new tires for my 2005 KR and it has the 18x8 rims. I have started looking for a replacement. Any word on anything new yet???


Thanks,
Chris

 

Last week someone posted that Goodyear has them in the stock 18" size.
Finally they are coming around..

 

This Good Year tire was posted last week for $190/copy, LT275/70R18, LR E,
Looks like my next tire.
