Perfect. thanks.

Might be seeing another F150 running around Vegas with your same setup...lol

(actually am kinda looking into the Xtreme ATs instead of the Xterrains now. Gonna make a stop at 4WP tonight and see if they have some I can look at)

Look at the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw. They have the same tread pattern as the Xterain's but I think they are cheaper.

Haven't seen many trucks with the same setup out here. 6" lift w/35's seems to be the trendy thing to do.

i hear that these tires (MT baja claw)have an aweful life expectancy for anyone who uses them onroad a bunch.....

if you want the pro-coms, get them b4 oct31.... buy 3 get 1 free is a good deal !!!

I don't know what you consider awful, but these procomps are only going to get you 35,000-40,000 miles. Which seems kind of crapy to me.

Thank god the're cool.

not true...i had ProComp x-terrains on my last truck and at around 25 to 27k on them and had 1/2 the tread left....i was looking at around 50,000 miles on the tires....and thats no exageration...i measured the tires regularly and always watched my pressure...

my buddy had the baja claw's on his dodge and they wore out faster. He needed new rubbrer after 40,000...BALD at 40,000...

procomp x-terrains are good tires....go for it

how much extra room do you have when fully turned? i was considering the 325/60/18's, but those are almost a full inch taller and wider than the 305/65's. think that would be to much and cause it to rub? the wheels would be 18's, but still have the same BS.

It seems like a perfect fit. I would not go bigger. It looks good too.

I too am looking at bigger tires. I was thinking the pro comp Extreme All Terrains and the Rancho Quick Lift Shocks for the front. The salesman at 4 Wheel Parts in Char N.C. said 305 would probably be my best bet. I have a King Ranch with 18" wheels and want to keep them. I had Nitto Terra Grapplere on an Excursion and liked them but the Mud Grapplers sound like a 4 ton bumblebee chasin g you down the road. Traded them for BFG All Terr and they were ok. I also have Pro Comp Mud Terrains on my H1 Hummer and they are very quiet for a mud tire.
