I have a '13 XLT Screw 5.0. The stock tires (275/65r18) have about 41k on them and I'm not comfortable running those through an Iowa winter.

I was looking at the Terra and Trail Grapplers, and have done some pretty extensive searching on here about each one. Local tire shop quoted me $1595.25 for the Trail's and $1687.47 for the Terra's out the door.

What I'm looking for is something that will fit my truck currently, as well as when/if I level it (its stock now). I was HOPING to get 295/70R18's on the stock rims, but I am worried that they will rub without a level/lift. But I also want to get a good tire that will get me another 40-50k on them, especially if I am dropping 1200-1500 on them! I don't do any off-roading, mainly highway, to/from work. Any suggestions between the two?

 

Why too much...I had 295/65/20's delivered to the door for $1350... $100 to mount and balance

 

That included mounting, balancing, disposal, shipping and tax. Keep in mind, it was the first place I looked, so that's not a set price. I will shop around, just want to get an idea on which tire and what size first.

Thanks!!
