305's vs. 275's All terrains
Hello Everyone,
I have a 2005 FX4 supercab with factory fx4 wheels (18"x7.5") and I am looking to get new tires (BFG All Terrains) in a 33". I was looking at the different 33" sizes BFG has and it looks like the 275/70R18 is about the same size as the 305/R65R18. Is it really worth the extra width and $100 per tire for the 305? If anyone has either of these tires sizes on their truck please send me a picture, I would like to see if there really is any difference. Any words of wisdom would help too, thanks.

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it. I will probably get a leveling kit later, but I'm not sure I'm gonna spend the $315 a tire for the 305's right now. Probably the 275's or 285's. Thanks again

If you are choosing between the 275/70/18 and the 305/65/18, they will both fit under a stock 4x4 without a leveling kit. I run the 275/70 and a buddy of mine runs the 305/65. We both have stock height 2007 4x4s and niether of us have any rubbing issues. For the price difference, I'd go with the 275s (in fact, I did).
