I have a 06 350 4 door and i am looking to put new tires on again. I had the toyo at 1st 10k out of the drive tires then went to goodyear silent armour 12k and they are ready for a change. I was thinking of going with the BF goodrich at's. i am running 275 70 18's, I thought I seen some 250's in maine running the 305's will they fit and not hit ?

Stock or Aftermarket wheels? I am no tire expert but IMO if you are on stock rims you should be able to clear 305's w/o a leveling kit. I have a friend with an F150 with 315's.
I really don't think you are going to have a problem, but I guess that's easy for me to say.

Man I wish u would have asked about those tires first. They are horible. I've had two sets and neither one lasted more than 15000 miles. I talked to a buddy at discount and he said that is the major complant out of those tires. They do preform good but they don't last long

Check out hancook dynapro. These are great tires that ride good, little to no noise, and wear like steel! Check them out!

I have the 17" factory rims with the BFG's stock from the factory and they have 37,000 miles on them. I think they still have another 5000-6000 more mile left. I can't afford new tires every 12-15 thousand miles.

I have factory 17's with factory Pirelli Scorpions and 30,000 miles. They look like they will get me to at least the 50,000 mark with out any problem.
They run quiet and have a good ride. I do not offroad and don't have to worry about snow where I live.

I have Pro Comp X-AT's and they are wearing very well. Over 10k on them and they still look pretty new. I think they have a 40k life expectancy, IIRC.
