Tires?
Hello all, I'm a new member. I have a question or two...
I have a 2005 F-150 screw, dark stone metallic (monotone), 4.6L, 2wd.
I got rid of the oem 255/65-17 Conticraps at 6800 miles. Just couldn't take the tiny donut tires anymore. Had to do alot of honeydo's for my wife...you know. I replaced them w 265/70-17 BFG radial long trails - larger and slightly more aggressive. I didnt want to go too aggressive and end up with a louder and harsher ride on a brand new $28,000 truck, and have to "hear it" from my wife. I'm sure some of you can understand.
Now that you have my background, here is my issue...
I only have about 35,000 miles on the BFGs, but of course I'm ready for a larger and more aggressive tires. (I was ready 10,000 miles into them). I like the 4x4 off road look, but I know I drive a 4x2. I don't think I want to level the front, so 285s are probably too big, and I think an aggressive BFG AT KO wouldn't look right on a 2wd.
I'm thinking a 275/70-17, possibly Goodyear AT Extreme or Silent Armor. There aren't too many choices in that size. Any advice???
I know it's a long post, but I thought I'd lay it all out...
Thanks, in advance...

Hey Bucko, did I read on another post that you put black fender flares on a dark stone truck? Got any pics?
