^ Remi - What fender flares do you have? Surely you don't mean the OEM street flares?

EGR is the brand - about an inch more coverage than stock without the Bushwaker bulk - painted to match. Pics here (scroll down): https://www.f150forum.com/f38/its-ti...319967/index6/

I had big pocket flares, painted even. Despite +12 offset and 295 tires it still felt like the flares were too big!

Wow great reviews, thank you all for sharing. Was originally worried about the compromise but the weight savings per tire and the fact I probably won't tow anything larger than 6500 lbs. Plus the reviews you've all left on durability are reassuring as camping/hunting season will be here before we know it. Size is perfect for me as I have yet to add an leveling kit or block upgrades but may consider that for the next set!



275/60/20 on stock truck height with slight rim offset.

Anyone running these on a lifted truck w/ offset wheels?


Would it look silly with a 4'' lift/+12 wheels?

That looks perfect on the stock suspension.

I'm running 1.5 AS up front (netted me 2") and 2" blocks in rear. I think 33" are the absolute smallest tire I would run on my set up. 34" is more likely for me next time just to fill the gap a little more.

Tires would look too small for most on here. A lot of folks on here are running 35" tires on 2-2.5" leveling kits. On a 4" lift, anything smaller than 35" tires would look goofy.

I ran Duratracs when they came out in 33x12.50 size. They were great in snow, very good in mud, terrible in rain, noisy after the first rotation, and treadlife is hit or miss on them. Additionally, the sidewalls are very weak. Despite this, the prices on them are INSANE. Mine weren't bad, but that was a few years ago. Today, the prices on them are off the charts. There are far better tires on the market for less money. My current Falkens are better in all conditions, have more rugged construction, and were $450 less for the set. Why are people still buying Duratracs?

Because experiences vary. But the majority rate them very well. That is a fact.

Hey everyone thought I would chime in - I purchased as set of 275/55-20 P rated because of this thread and have been happy. At 50k and will be replacing in the coming weeks with another set. Appears ratings have changed to SL? I'm also having trouble finding any at a decent price out there, who has the best deals right now. Last time I was able to get the local Ford dealer to price match Tire Rack but it appears they no longer offer them. Many others online appear to be in same boat. Something happen with Goodyear/online sales recently?
