Most

Most of those platforms will also move fore & aft. So when initially tied down, they may be nowhere near the next car. Can’t positively say this is true of the tractor, but a LOT of trailers have this feature
I had the dealer swap the tires from my trade ,same size Wildpeaks AT3 only had 1k on them so I figured it was worth a shot. The stock "AT" tires are a joke and would have been replaced either way.

I like that color. Don’t see many of that.

2021 Platinum
Read through the entire Thread. A couple people had this idea so I thought I would share.
I have a 21 Platinum and wanted a different wheel and tire for looks and hopefully no sacrifice.
So, bought a set Lariat 18" Wheels I liked. Saving the tires for wifes car and bought some lightweight tires that should not sacrifice MPG.
As others have said very few P rated tires available.
General Grabber APT 275/70r18 10.8" wide 33.2" tall. Only .1" higher than my stock 20" wheels. Just

put them on today. No noise, look great and MPG remains to be seen but should not suffer. I'll update as I drive quite a bit. Weight 42 lbs. Reviews pretty good

These are the wheels coming on my lariat did you happen to peek at the offset of these? Can’t seem to find them anywhere.. do they sit fairly flush to the fenders? A down the side pic would be greatly appreciated! Beautiful truck!

Take a look at the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. I swapped my ugly plain stock tires with these and are great. Low noise and perform well in rain. No complaints thus far. Have had them since September.

Roush Fox 2.0 (perch lowered 5/8” per Roush) plus Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 295/60R20

Drives phenomenal .. ride is a bit stiffer in a great way, body roll gone, no slam when it fully drops out

Tires are not much louder than stock

Cheers

Looking into the 275/60/20
Falken Wilkdpeak at3w or MT Baja Boss AT.

Any thoughts? The Wildpeaks seem to be a good tire on road and wet traction.

Had Wildpeaks on 2 former vehicles, and plan to put them on my F150. Great all around tire, and pretty quiet.

I have a heavy foot (lead foot). So I guess it’s appropriate that I chose this color.

for city driving I get about 13.4 ( sometimes 12.9 cuz I like to punch it)

highway I get about 18.9-19.7 depending on how I drive Margot. She would get more if I really focused on it.

2021 F150 Lariat 4x4
NITTO Ridge Grapplers 285/65R20. Lariat with max tow. Had them put on the Mammoth 2.5 Leveling kit as well. Zero rubbing. Also to note I had already installed weather tech mud flaps and they do not interfere at all.
Once the sun comes out I'll post more pics if there is interest in them.

Next week the tint guy gets the truck for a couple of hours.

Had to Edit, I have 295/65R20.

Beautiful set up. Do you think the tires would rub if the level was 2"?
