I wasn't entirely sure my tires would fit when I put the 285/75 on my truck. Having that 45/500 no regret warranty really gave me peace of mind knowing that I could just switch the tires out for one size smaller if I needed to without issue.

The only reget for me would be that I would still have to pay someone to take them off and remount plus pay shipping to send them back and shipping for a new set. This would not be an issue if someone local has them in stock. No one around here said they could get them in less than a month or two. So I ordered online.
My thoughts on mine after about 100 miles are that they ride smoother than expected, they are more quiet than expected.... they also cause the truck to be a little more sluggish than expected and fuel mileage loss may be a bit more than expected. I figure I will get used to the ever so slight sluggish feeling (I have 3.55 gears) and I hope the MPG doesnt get worse as they wear.
I also think I would have been happy with the 275/60s... I like these and they look great but they are big for a stock truck. 60's might have been the perfect balance but I am not disapointed at all.
I wonder how I will feel in a few weeks...???

I'm thinking terrible thoughts about a summer setup with XD badlands black magic wheels and OC AT/II's..That no regret warranty is appealing for someone like me who is seriously picky about tires...

You may want to consider going to 3.73 gears with the bigger tires, I have the 3.73 gears with the 5.0L SCREW and I truck is not sluggish and my MPG is averaging 14.5 - 15. On the freeway I am seeing 16.5 - 17.2 mpg. I even hit 20 mpg coming back from Lake Tahoe last weekend, but that was with 4 hours of freeway driving.

GAPlatinum, the wheels look awesome! You may have mentioned this somewhere in the thread but what size tires are they (look like stock rims)?
I just picked up a 2013 FX4. It came with the Pirelle Scorpion ATR's (275/55R20), which I'm going to swap out for the Toyo's. Wanted to stay on stock rims so I'm going to stay with the stock size tire.
Thanks

Yeah I didn't realize how nose high I would be with a 2.5" RC level. It's 1.5" higher front to back. I am about to order a block for the rear. Wish I would left it stock but I am in too deep now. Probably will get Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks before too long. Been hearing good things about those 5100s.
