Default winter tires
would like to go down to a 17 in winter tire and rim, currently have 18in on 2010 F150 XRT 4x4, wonder what size could do without adversely affecting OD or performance.

I assume you have 265/60/18, right?

If so, your closest bet is 265/65/17

The tire calculators above should help you if You can't find anything in that size, although that shouldn't be a problem.

Are you looking for a tire with same footprint (width)?
