I am thinking of the Falkens in stock 275/65/18 P Metric. Did anyone experience much of hit on MPG's over the stock tire?

Anytime you go away from factory tires, you'll lose MPGs. How much depends on tire size, tread design, and weight. I went up to a 285/70 and lost 1.5 MPGs. The Falkens are a rugged tire but that means they're heavy.

im thinking about getting the same size of falkens for my stock f150. Will this size rub at stock? Also how are they holding up?

The SL rated 275/65/18 is about 7 lbs heavier than the OEM tire. You might see a slight hit in the fuel economy due to the extra weight and being a somewhat aggressive tread AT tire.

Guys keep in mind the P rated AT3W's are far less aggressive than the LT's

how many miles do you have on yours? Do they seem to be lasting? Local shop told me these tires are junk, but I really like the price.

About 1000 on them. like 100 in the picture.

Of course the shop will tell you they're junk if they have other brand in stock. Do your own research, nothing but positive reviews so far...

Did you by chance have this size on before your truck was leveled? I've seen others have 275/70/18 on stock truck but these AT3W seem to be just a bit larger.

I have these AT3W's in 275/70/18 without a level. Zero rubbing.
