Keep posting the regular cabs! Everyone I personally know that has an F150 is a crew cab...Im all by myself. I think...of the top of my head they are 285-75R16's. I think, Ill have to double check that because I might have my numbers confused with my girlfriends tires.

I like the short wheel base in snow and mud too, the crew cabs I know end up standing in the mud with a sign waiting to get jerked out.

Ive got Cooper Discoverer STT's for some shoes...and theyre FANTASTIC. Good tread wear, not too loud, and they rip it up in the snow. The people I know and that Ive seen with like Thornbirds, Mud Terrains, and crazy Dick Cepek tires and for all that money...I think the Coopers completely out do and outlast those tires. We go to this Mud Fest deal around here, and Ill buzz right past people who are sunk to their mirrors and they have giant Thornbirds. or a sand bed creek to cross and they have whatever crazy design Cepek has come out with and their locked down in 4wd hammerin' away on the gas and rockin in and out to get to the other side.

I never really understood medium profile tires on some dubs on a 4wd pick up either. What a waste.

They look dope lol, I'm goin with a set of 35" Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Harley D 20's soon as my lifts on in a month or so. Plus they have less sidewall flex for daily driving. I'm no rock crawler lol, so I figured I'd try this for once...

Im tellin' ya...they are great tires. In sand, mud, snow, the sidewall lugs really help out. Maybe Im crazy for thinking this, but it seems the way they are designed is that the sidewall lugs really grip and help pull through versus just muckin' the ground out.

Good self cleaners too.
