All Terrain Tires for your Powerboost

[LeadfootTREMOR]

I'd love to hear thoughts on this! I'm in your exact situation. I'm looking to stay away from a LT rated tire and stick with an all terrain P metric in 275/60R20.

I had 275/60R20 Wildpeaks on my previous F150 and I was really impressed with them. They were a little bigger than the stock size at the time (275/55R20). I'm really thinking about going with these again, but I'm open to other insights with the Powerboost. All I've seen so far are bigger heavier tires that I'm not interested in (ridge grabblers seem to be all I see).

We have ridge grapplers on our JK rubicon and we love them. Would love to hear how they feel on a powerboost

I decided to stick with stock size and ended up getting WILDPEAK A/T3W
LT275 /65 R18 E1. Got E as I’m about to put a camper on back. I also got new Method wheels as they were a little lighter than stock Tried to help compensate for heavier tire.

Only had them on for about 20 miles but I still got 25mpg driving home from the shop. A little bit more road noise but can’t tell when listening to music at normal level.

Do you have a levelling kit installed? Thanks for posting your feedback on those tires. Pondering something similar.

Posted on the stock wheels thread but I'll add it here as well. 295/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock Platinum wheels & 2" Ready Lift level. No rubbing, no trimming. I'll add MPG after a few more miles. Hoping for only a 2-3 mpg hit.

One note if you plan to use McKees 37 Tire Coating... Let the tires weather a bit first. I coated mine pretty quickly and it didn't bond as well as normal. I'm guessing there's still a bit of oil in the rubber?
{Edit/update}- I forgot the McKees tire cleaner step which is most likely why it didn't fully bond. Read the directions! (even if you've done it before)

I decided to go with Toyo Open County AT3s in factory size and the SL (115T) rating and the Brink B103 Fang wheels 20x9 +18 in Vivid Titanium.

My goal was to go with a light wheel and the lightest AT tire I could find in factory size.

I have a 2.3" Stage 3 leveling spacer.

I took the Brink wheels for weight and money savings. 295/65/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler +18 offset. 2.5 inch level.

Where did that set up put you tire weight and wheel weight? To compare I was thinking stock 18”s are 40 lbs for tire and 30 lbs for wheel?

I think its about 70-71#s per wheel and tire. I put the links with specs in the above thread.

Falken Wildpeaks are great in the snow. We live on the east coast of Canada.

How about on the ice?

Good looking setup here. Whats the impact on PB performance?

Well i get around 20mpg average. I can still get 25 plus mpg trips but the overall around 20.

How much less mpg is that compared to before?

My first 700 miles with 295/60/20 Nitto RG has me at 20 mpg, down from 23 on stock Hankooks. I will say mileage I’d greatly reduced on short trips or lots of stop and go. There’s a big cost to getting those heavy, all terrain tires tires spinning. Once you’re moving steady mileage isn’t as dramatically reduced.

Around 18.5 when i switch tires and kept heavy stock wheels. So the weight loss helped get me to 20. Before that i averaged 23ish stock.
