Tire Recommendations
I have a 2008 fx 4 with stock rims 18" diameter by 7.5" wide. I also have a 2.5" leveling kit on the front end. Anyone have any tire suggestions. Mainly looking for a good all terrain tire for around $1,000. Thanks!!!

Nice looking truck! Don't see Fx4s in that color often, but I think it looks sweet. 295/70r18 nitto terra grapplers! I got mine for 950$ straight from discount tire direct, then took them to discount tire to get balanced for 70$. They matched the amazon price I sent them, and I don't think you can get them that cheap anymore though. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/sea...0&rd=18&cs=295
249$ each plus tax/mounting and balancing. At first I thought they rode a little rough since they're a 10 ply load range e tire, but now I've got the psi set to 40ish front, and around 38 in the back, and it rides similar to stock. Doesn't feel rough at all.
They come out to be a 34x11.5 tire, and I'd say they fit the truck nicely.

A few older pictures of my truck but I went with 275/70r18's Goodyear Duratrac's last spring. Couldn't be happier with their performance. (33.4"x10.8"x18") I was just over $1,000 when I got them put on.

I am also looking at new tires for my '05 STX. I just put a set of Yokohamas on my F250, had to have them quick and they were on the rack which was a miracle for this small town. They set me back less than $850, ten ply and seem to be decent tires. The guy told me that he would not go 10 ply on the F-150; expense and ride since it is used on the road most of the time.

Before 2.5" leveling kit
After 2.5" leveling kit
2.5" leveling kit with LT275/70/18 General Grabber AT2's
I'm happy with the outcome! Thanks for all the advice.

the wifes truck had BFG All Terrains 275-65-18 which i was quite happy with the ride. they need replaced and im leaning towards the Fierce Attitude MT 275-70-18 just because i like the look of tread better on them. imo stick with the 70 aspect unless you go wider than factory spec as it fills the well a little more as a 33".
