New Tires for F-150?

[HartAg15]

Need to get new tires and would like to go up a little in size, but not sure what’s safe. Factory (current) size for my 21 F-150 is 265-60-18. I also have a 2 inch leveling kit on the front.
Thinking about going up to 275-70-18. Would this be safe? Also want to make sure it won’t rub.

That will clear with plenty of room! I’m making the assumption that you will be keeping factory wheels.

Thanks! Yes I’m keeping the factory wheels. Do you think that increase would be a significant change to gas mileage (I would think it would some), also curious if it would make the ride a lot noisier.

I'm running 285/65/20 on a 2" level FX4. No rub. You're good at that size for sure.

I changed my tires to BFGoodrich KO2 275/70 R18. Also changed the Rims to Black Rhino Atlas 18x9. My Truck came with the Black Appearance Package wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Tires 275/60 R20.

Truck drives great with the new setup. Milage has not really been affected.

I have 295-60-20 with Fuel wheels 2inch level and it runs in reverse at half turn to full turn.

It rubs in reverse. Not runs.

275/70R18 will fit no issues!

I am on LT275/70/18 on factory wheels and Bilstein 6112s, set at 1.5" level. Zero issues on and off road. Fuel hit, maybe 1-2 mpg. Noise will depend on what tire you get. I'm loving these Coopers, but maybe overkill if you dont pull or do any off road.

Those two questions all depend on which tire you end up with. I would expect 1-2 mpg deference.

Happen to have a pic from further back showing the overall look? I'm on 1.5" with 295/70 and am curious what the 275/70's look like. Thinking I may downsize when it's time for new shoes but don't want to lose the beefy look.

2” level with 295/70/18, no rub, I’m still getting 20.2 mpg with the 3.5

I have 275/70-18 on my truck without the leveling kit and have not had any issues, no rubbing.

My advice is to avoid Load Range E unless you are towing/hauling often. So many dudes go up in size but choose an E tire and it murders their gas mileage.

Current 22 XLT 302a came factory with 275/65/18
