Tire suggestion

So now that I am enjoying my new to me excursion, I am considering purchasing some upgraded wheels and tires. Nothing outragous. I have 2003 Excursion Limited 2WD. I am looking to upgrade to just 18 inches or 20 inches max.

Anyone have these on your ride? What size tires are you running and brand? I live in Florida and I do pull a boat with the Excursion.

I look forward to seeing all suggestions!

Thanks!

Stephen

(Sorry the trucks not clean in the pictures...put the tires on in the rain and took the picture about 20 minutes after they were put on)
I just stuck with the Stock rims and put BFG AT TA KO 304/70/16E on them...they fill in the wheel wells and look pretty good! IMHO you can't beat the stock rims with bigger tires for a slick ride and look.

When I test drove the truck it had 22" on it and they rode TERRIBLE...to make the deal I told the dealer to put stock rims on it...he did and I bought the truck.

im have an 03 eddie bauer ex and this is what i'm doing to it. I'm putting a 2.5 coil spacer on the front and the regular B code f250 spring on the back with a hellwig sway bar. I'm also putting ranch 9000xl's on all four courners. I will be putting either Goodyear Silent armor 305/60r20E or 285/60r20 but you can check all the different sizes here to help you.

Stephen,
I've got a 2003 EB 2wd also. I put on Nitto, NT420S's size - 305/50/20 mounted on American Eagle #114 size - 20x10
So far I've put close to 25,000 miles on them with plenty of tread left.
I'd post pics here but don't know how so send me your email to davidshirley1@comcast.net and I'll send you pics.
Oh yeh, I'm in cent. Fl. also.
David
