Good looking tires! I see there Load range D,,,do they make E's ?
I have D rated 285/70/17" Hankooks on my 06' F-350 now,,,they do ride better, then the E's.

I have heard good things about that tire, I just put a set of 38's on my 05 and they are great. I am going to trim the plastic air dam under the front bumper like you did, that's the only place that rubs.

WOW awesome looking tires and truck !!!!!!! I have an 04 fx4 and want to put the toyo open country m/t's on there but they are 12.5 inches wide and i've been told that you don't want tires that are too wide so that they rub against the leaf springs when taking a sharp turn. I saw that your's are 13.5 so i was wondering if they have that problem.

Thanks

I had to weld some stoppers on the steering.Yeah,they rubbed a tad, but only when fully turned.I know you can get different offset rims to fix that though.You should be okay with the 12.5.It depends on the height if the tire also.I suppose your looking at the 35's.
