Has anyone put bigger tires on a 2010?
#91
I spoke briefly with PHP about this yesterday and Bill figures that it's just the tire size calibration that's throwing off the PCM. I thought it was a pretty basic requirement for going to a larger tire, especially a 35 to make sure the computer has been calibrated for it. The SCT tuner is available for the 2010 models, they are doing custom tunes for them too. He's done the new trucks with 37's and not had issues.

Thankfully I found this thread before ordering the BFG 285/65r20's I was planning on ordering this week...
Good move Ford... Make it impossible to run anything larger than 31" tires on your 4x4 without TC problems... I'm assuming that this is not going to be fixed since Ford's know about it for over a year now and has done nothing to fix it.
Wish I had know this before I bought my 2011 FX4 a couple weeks ago...
I knew I should have bought a Toyota...
Going to have to sell this POS for a loss now... No damn way I'm keeping it if I can't run anything over 31" tires on it...
Shame... It would have been a nice truck...

Seems like you have to try it out on your own truck to see if larger tires/lift kit works.
As I mentioned in another thread I have a 2010 SCREW FX4 and installed the 34.5" Raptor wheels & tires, 315/70-17 and Bilstein 5100's with zero problems whatsoever.
I typically turn the TC off when offroad, I've been in the mud, through streams, in deep sand, crawling over rocks. no problems.
No issues with TC on in the city either.

I could be wrong but I don't think there is fuse for just the traction control. There is one fuse under the hood for the RSC module.
I've driven the truck everywhere the last two days with the TCS disabled and have not heard the noise at all. No big deal to just hit the button the dash.

Yeah, I'll just head on down to the local 4x4 shop and drop 5K on rims, tires, and a 6" lift to "see if larger tires/lift kit works" and it it doesen't and I've seen about 100 posts where people say they now have to turn off TC before pulling out their driveway, then I'll spend another 2K getting the lift removed and on the loss selling a used lift kit, rims, and tires... I don't think so...
You obviously are not going to get an answer as to whether bigger tires will work on your particular truck without actually doing it. So either stop worrying about it and do something else or bite the bullet and go for it.
