Who makes the lightest 35" tires for F-150's?

 

well, are you looking at a 35-17,18,20,24+? MT/At/Street?
most 35x12.5/18 muds are in the 70-85lbs range

 

Man that is heavy!

i am talking about some 35" tires that go on the stock 17" wheels. either mud or all terrains....? What is the lightest?

i cant imagine throwing and extra 40-50lbs on each wheel!!!

 

35" tires are likely to all be heavy - they are designed for off-road use... more rubber means that stick you drove over didn't remove the air from the tire.

As you increase diameter, weight increases exponentially. I don't think many people even look at tire weight - is performance that counts... except at the track, but then there's not many sticks on the track... although there was that deer at Road America last year...

Sorry that I'm no help to your cause, but I think you may be the only one thinking about weight on these.

Let us know what you find... now I've gotten curious!

 

AT's will definitely be lighter than a MT-
looking at the toyo open country AT in a 325/70R17 (35x13): 76.5 lbs each...
looking at the toyo open country MT in a 35x12.5R17:83 lbs each...

bfg ta ko in a 315/70-R17 (34.5x12): 64 lbs each

pro comp xtreme AT 35x12.5-R17: 66 lbs each

 

does the stock 17" wheels use 12" or 12.5" wide tires? How much do the stock tires weight?

I'm worried the truck is going to lose alot of power and gas mileage!

 

you'lll lose around 1-2 mpg in the city- you actually pick up a tiny bit on the highway- you will lose a bit of low end torque with 35's- if you have a tuner, like the edge, or xcal II both will make up that loss- lemme check on the stock info...

 

Glad to hear better gas on the highway. Reason I want light tires is I still want to be able to mess around with the ricers. That is why my first car was a souped up Mach1. I plan on doing edge/exhaust/4.56 gears/and maybe e-fans. Hopefully that is enough to get me into the 0-60 range of 7 seconds flat.....?

by the way, I noticed you have the 2.5AS and 35's.... how much higher does your truck sit than it does when it was stock? (do you have a measurement from the mirror)

 

theres a thread burried in the 04+ forum about heights its a good 3 pages long- that has my mirror height in it, as well as quite a few other users... but off the top of my head i know that from the ground to the top of my truck is 6'8.5" (thats standing at the end of the cab where the bed starts...)

edit, the bottom of my mirror housing is at 53.5"

the tuners really wake our trucks up- if you try and compare it to your mach 1, you're going unimpressed- 7 seconds is doable for sure though- running the 3.73ls, my 35's my xcal II on 91 octane tune, my truck will 0-60 in just under 9 seconds... i'd read up about it all in the tuners chips and programmers forum- theres a TON of info there.

um, i dont know what tires you have on stock, but the bfg rugged trails which came on my rig are (275/65R18) (31.8x10.5) are 43 lbs each...

i'm not sure where i read it, but i believe the 18x7.5" stock wheels are around 27 lbs each

as for your width question- if you are sticking with the stock rims, it would be safe to stay at 12.5" and under- they are a bit too wide for the stock rim width, but they will work, and will wear evenly if you keep an eye on your psi, and keep the truck aligned...
