Tires after the LEVEL kit........
After much debating and back and forth with mainly myself, I have decided to keep my 2010 F150 SCREW Platinum and give her a better ride and stance. Just couldn't come to grips of trading her in and losing all my luxury creature comforts since there is no way Im able to afford a new King Ranch or Platinum. With only 71k miles on the 5.4, I know she has at least another 100k in her.
Just ordered Halolifts Boss Coilovers and their rear shocks. Front shocks will be built to add 2 inches and should be pretty damn level and the ride will be improved as well.
So after the level I plan on upgrading her shoes. I want to go just a hair bigger to fill the wheel well better and a slightly more aggressive look while having all purpose, quiet tire. I drive 30,000k + miles a year. Mostly highway.
I have not started my research on tires, but thought I would see what other have done that may have been in a similar situation. And Yes I know how to use the search option on this forum......
FWIW, Alex from www.halolifts.com was a tremendous help today. I called him at noon to ask some general questions. Got home around 130, ordered my front coilovers and rear shocks and I got an email this afternoon at 4pm letting me know they shipped today! I find that AMAZING! Cant wait to get the parts on! Attached is a before pic.

Are you planning to keep the stock wheels? Or going with an aftermarket? And how much bigger you planning to go with tires? From my research you can run a 285/65/20 (34.6x11.2) with no rubbing or trimming and it looks awesome in my opinion. If you go after market the more offset the smaller the tire you need/ more trimming you need to do

I am keeping my stock platinum rims. I am leaning toward 285/60 OR 285/65.
Don't want to go overboard with bigger as I do tow a boat and do a lot of HWY miles. My goal was simply to improve the stance and fill the wheel well a touch better.
Researching tires is annoying. So many choices. I dont really do any offroading. one or 2 trips to the outer banks a year. Trying to find a good quiet highway tire with great tread wear that has a semi aggressive look to it. Any suggestions?

Here's a few pictures of my Platinum with the P275x60x20 Toyo's...truck leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks set at 1-1/2 inches in the front.

Have you run a search? There are probably a few hundred threads on wheel and tire combinations. You could try going to Google and searching for "site:f150forum.com" followed by your search terms. Or, to search just the 2015-Present section, use "site:f150forum.com/f118" followed by your search terms.
