i replaced my factory goodyears with a 275/75/18, 33's, they fit with no rubbing and look great, i went with the general grabber AT2 and absolutely love them, have about 5500 miles on them and they still have almost the exact same tread depth as new

Grabbers look pretty similar to BFG A/t's. but I am partial to the BFG A/t.s

I have them on my truck, but they are stock sized.

here are some pics in this thread.

So what size tire is the max tire you can fit with no issues on a XLT with 18" chrome wheels all stock, 4x4?

I've been thinking about this myself for awhile that more tire co.(Falken, BFG, etc) should come out with more sizes around the 35x10.5-11 range. I think they would sell a ton of these not only to the light truck market but also guys with jeeps and suvs. But as for now Nitto also makes a tire around the size you are looking for. It's a 295/70/18.
