Hey guys, Since I got back into trucks and got my 07 F150 I'm going to need some new tires in the not to distant future. My truck currently has 305/65R18 BFG AT KO's on it. I like this tire and they seem to have worn well, but I'm not paying $350 a pop for those tires. I've been reading around and see good reviews on the Falkens Wild Peak AT, they come in the same size as well and are about 250 a piece installed. Much better price point for me. Anyone on here have experience with them? Thanks!

I have an 06 with 305's and black rims. I need new 4wd hubs and manuals are cheaper but I don't know how they would look on my black rims. Do manuals ruin the look of the rims? Anyone have an opinion?

Nice way to thread hi-jack...probably need to create your own post to get a good response.


As for the OP, I also have the 305's in the BFG, and I was able to talk/negotiate the tires down to $1100 installed with lifetime bal and warranty. Was still pricey, but I didn't like the ride of the wildpeak's on a Jeep I had, similar size, seemed to be harsh sidewall with spongy tread. Not sure how they do on the full size trucks though, might be worth it if you can deal them a bit more on price.

The more and more I look at the truck as it sits I don't think I'll be happy with any other tire. I've had the BFG's before and loved them. I think some negotiation might be the way to go........

I've got the Falken Rocky Mountains in that same size. I really like them.
