Any help appreciated. I have a 2012 F150 XLT clubcab with tow package. I put a 2 in leveling kit on it when new as well as oem raptor wheels with 285 BFG AT ( they are about 31 in tall).
I decided to rig up my truck more for offroad and sell my custom TJ jeep ( hard to get used to a cramped up jeep after the truck!).

So I want to swap out the tires and get some 33 in tall tires to get the running gear a bit more off the ground..but I cant find a suitable replacement tire that is 10.5 in wide by 33 that is good on the highway...i dont want a mud grip tire much wider that 10.5 in but more of an all around like the current bfg AT that i have on now.

I am not sure about the raptor wheel but assume it is 8 in and i cant afford to get rid of them as they were mucho expensive..but good wheels.

I see BFG makes the MT KM2 in 11.5 x 33.7 that would fit I guess but I see mixed reviews on the tire. Any other candidates out there one can recommend?

thx

Toyo and Nitto both make a 285/75/17 (almost 34" tall) in an AT tread. The Toyo also comes in a MT as well. I would recommend them over the BFG MT.

I have 33 in good year Duratracs and I love em! I do a lot of highway driving from Knoxville to Nashville and they are great. They look aggressive but they are no louder than the tires that came on my truck stock, and the have a 50,000 mile warranty. Personally I probably won't switch tires again, I'll keep buying these Duratracs because I don't think you can beat them because the have the looks and performance. They are 305 55r20.

thanks for input
so far the toyo MT 285/75/r17 get good all around reviews. thats a 34.1 in x 11.50 that would fit no prob.

Don't they rub and chew away on your front trim being a 305?

I had these on my '04, Toyo 295x70x17 (33.5x11.8) great size tire. Nitto makes this size in a Trailgrappler and Terragrappler also. Wheels are 17x8's

nice wheels flamehead..looks familiar! I have had my 2102 f150 for 6 mos and first time to see someone else with raptor wheels! they are good rims.

i am intrigued by the duratracs ..they get good all around reviews - esp in snow and can take studs...I live in the base of snow country in oregon....BUT the only one that would give me a height gain of significance is the LT315/70R-17 which is nearly 12.5 wide and 33.4 in tall.
I am wondering how much of a mileage reduction I would get going from 10.5 x 33 ( my target size ) to 12.5 x 34.5

right now i get 17.5 mpg cruising at 70 mph with 5.0l 360 hp

The toyo open country looks like the other contender but they are very heavy and not rated that great in snow. I dont haul big loads so not sure if stiff e rated tire would make the most sense.

I'm running Cooper Zeon LTZ's in 285-70-17. It's a heavy tire and they cost me a bit in milage, but on the plus side the traction is good, there is minimal road noise and they show very little wear after about 20K:
