Default Tire Upgrade Suggestions 2006 Mark LT

Hello,

I have a 2006 Mark LT with Michelin 275/55 R18s on it now. My mechanic for the last 30+ years owes me a big favor and is going to put a Rancho Quicklift on the front to level things out and rancho shocks on the back for me at no charge. No lift other than the 1.5-2 inches I'll get in the front from the Quicklift. I am looking to go with a slightly bigger tire. I live in Milwaukee, and while we have decent winters I don't want a crazy big tire with super aggressive tread. I was thinking of either 295s or 305s, but not sure. I'd like something with more sidewall for sure. It seems like the standard are BF Goodrich or Nittos. I'm a 40 year old female, not a crazy agressive driver but I "drive with purpose" as my dad says. No offroading - normal daily driving. What would you fine folks suggest?

Obligatory photo of my super stock ride.

I'm thinking 285s would be plenty. Maybe 285/65/R18s.

Sounds like what you are describing is a BFG KO2 or a Nitto Exo Grappler.
