Default Tire choices and details

oh good gawd this is one that gets asked over and over...not a 5.0 vs eco hate fest.

TIRES!!

I'm running 18's on a F150. I have Toyo MT's 35-12.50's. They are 35" and 81lbs...

I'm looking at selling these and dropping some weight. Having trouble finding some $'s though.

I like the Toyo R/T's but they are $$$$ and are heavy. Not much point in going that route.

Looking at the following:

Cooper ST/Maxx in 295-75-18, can't find weight on them and real true height?

Nitto exo's in 285-70-18. I believe they are 60bs but 33.5"..can't seem to find these in a 34" or better size without going 35-12.5 and getting heavy again.

295/75/18 ST Maxx - 66.46 lbs / 34.25" diameter

If I had 18" wheels I'd go with 305/70/18 STT Pro - 70.44 lbs / 35.08" diameter

I have 35" MT's on it now. Trying to take weight down but keep above 34". I really like the 60lb Exo but the Cooper is a very good looking tire. priced nicely too.

Looks like about $1k either way. Would sell my Toyos to recoup

Those exo's are expensive as all hell. I just looked up my tire weight, and was pretty surprised to see that my 325/60/18 terra grapplers weigh 61lbs. They sure feel heavier than that. Very impressed with them though. I have 40k on them, and there is easily another 35-40% left on them. When I bought them, I was going to be happy with 50k out of them, but I'm on my way to go past that. Lots of rotations.

I finally found a site that has them mostly all listed with these details.
customwheeloffset.com I did see one obvious mistake on the St Maxx, they put the weight of the 35-12.5-18 as 3lbs lighter than the 295-70-18. Weird, all the rest seem inline with other sites.

I'm still leaning towards the ST Maxx. Over 34" 64lbs and appears to be a in between AT and MT. Priced right.
