Great tire. Runs well on-road (just a tiny bit more hum than stock), exceptional off-road, good in snow, and great treadlife. Only downside is weight. They are hefty.

Absolutely. I have had 3 sets on 2 different trucks. Set 1 lasted 67K miles, replaced with 20% tread left. Set 2 lasted 50K miles, traded truck. Set 3 has 15K miles and still look brand new.

Fully recommend.

That depends on many factors...tires, rims, suspension.

On my 2014, I have 295/70R18 (34.2 in tall x 12 in wide) ST Maxx on Remington Gravel Rims at 0 offset on a leveled suspension with Bilstein lift struts set at 2.1. I only have very slight rubbing on full compression only on the passenger side (trimmed some plastic, but still have rubbing on the passenger side). It is not a violent rubbing so I am not concerned.

Usually the F150 4wd trucks can handle a 33" tire with out modification as long as the rim offset is correct.

275/60/20s fit on a stock f-150, and those are 33.1". i think you'd be fine with a 295/65/18. but the st/max doesn't come in that size. they are also heavy as ****. if you have the goodyear wranglers stock, those weigh 39lbs a piece. all these LT tires you're looking at weigh 60-70lbs depending on size.
