tires and rims

I just bought a brand new set of 18 Ford factory chrome rims with tires for my 06 XLT that had 17 inch rims on it. So, do I need to have my speedometer adjusted?

That is 1" difference in overall height so you might want to get the speedo adjusted. Either get an aftermarket tuner or the dealer should be able to flash it for you.

I have the terra grapplers on my 06 F150 KR they are 275 55 R20s. They handle very well, good traction, no noise, look cool....cant tell you about wear.... only have a few hundred miles on them.
