Default what tires would u suggest?

I have a 2011 supercrew fx4 ecoboost with a 2.5" Ruff country leveling kit...
What tires would u recommend...285 or 295...60 or 65....keeping the stock 20"s on it...don't wanna go over on killing my mpg...but want it to be a noticable difference...not sure if I'd consider a 305 or not..

What do u guys think?

I have the BFG A/T KO's on my truck, they say "Baja Champion" on them, and the make me feel like a winner everytime I see them.

Reguarding your tire size, I would go to 305's if you have the level, that should look pretty tough. Mine are 18's, but I went from 275 to 305 and saw little loss of MPG's

I think 305/55/20 is the perfect size for a level. Not sure what kind of hit mpg you would take.

What people don't understand is you can't compare a 295 to a 305 and say the 305 is bigger. For example a 275 70 18 is larger than a 285 65 18. Every number will change the tire size. A 285 70 17 will be different from a 285 70 20. All three numbers affect the tire size. Best thing to do is find a tire size calculator on the Internet and use it to make your decision.
