Default Picked up my new platinum tuesday

Well I finally got to bring my new truck home Tuesday and i've already searched the internet all weekend to get an idea of what I want to add on. I've decided to go with the Toyo ATII tire but havent completely decided on a size, 285/55/20 or a 295/60/20. My 2010 platinum had 275/65/20 BFG all terrains on it but I just cant get myself to spend over 400 a tire for the 285 in a BFG. I have been looking over the forum as to which intake/exhaust combo works best for the ecoboost but I am a little hesitant to put an exhaust on the v6 motor. For those of you that have added an exhaust how did the sound turn out? Also, did the any of you notice your mileage increase with the add ons? Thanks for the input.

Hey, do you have a level kit on yours? If I do 285s I was going to put a 1.5 on the front. Also, wat kind of mileage did you lose

I am also biased..but 295/60/20 looks absolutely perfect IMO! The Toyo is a great tire.

I like the 295 too but I'm having trouble finding the tires in that size. No local shops can get them and they are backordered online. I more be forced to get the 285 BC I want them pretty soon

I went with the 285/55/20. Because I did not want to level as I always have something heavy in my bed. Plus I like the look of a fuller wheel well. Plus the 285 is E rated(10ply) as well which I need for my work needs.

Wait for them. Tires are an investment that lasts 4+ years.

I think I did...Can't find them anywhere anymore. Weird, because I was sitting on the deal for about a month. Then suddenly when I order, the 295/60 size goes MIA all over the US.
