Little help here guys!

Ok truck guru's...
So here's the deal I have a '07 F-150 Lariat S/C Short bed. Red over tan are the truck colors with 18" factory Lariat rims. I have already installed a 2.5" leveling kit with block for the rear coming soon. I have narrowed it down to 2: BFG A/T 305/65/18 and Toyo M/T 275/70/18. From the specs on the mfg web-site's they are almost the same height. Width going to the bfg. I have spent numerous hours on this website and others like it trying to decide what tires to get for my truck and for the life of me cannot pull the trigger on which one's to get. So I am hoping someone can make up my mind for me or should I just flip a coin?

Thanks,

Bill

well first think to yourself which tire you would need. a mud or all terrain. if you dont do much off roading id go with the bfg a/t. you will get alot of miles out of them

Ya, I have thought about that. I do mostly highway/city driving through the week with a some weekend warrior stuff also. Correct me if I am wrong but the toyo's are also known for getting good mileage as well. I have maintained my truck very well so far as oil, tire rotations, etc.. I live in the midwest and we get a fare amount of snow also.

Since you're already considering an M/T I'd look into to BFG KM2 as well. They ride quiet, look great and most folks are reporting great mileage.

I'm partial to BFG.

BFG's

Well I got a price quote from the local Quick Lane/Ford Dealer of $1450 out the door. This seems to be a pretty fare price? Its cheaper than the (1675.00) local tire shop quoted me. What do you guys think?

If you want a M/T, why not get the BFG KM2's?
