Hi there I'am reguestiong pic's of BFG A/T 285/65R18. Also would i feel a difference in power running a bigger tire on my stock truck? thanks in advance, Miller

 

can somebody please reply! going to buy tires tommorow and hafe to make up my mind.

 

I dont have any photos, though there are quite alot out there. Bigger tire = a little loss of speed, but thats it. If our stock tire size is 60 - 65/18 then you probably have a 275 width. You wont really notice an economy drop with them, just maybe a stiffer ride since All Terrains aren't as smooth as All Seasons.

 

When would i notice this loss of power taking off at a light, or passing on the highway will it be very noticible?

 

I went from 265/60R18 to 285/65R18 and it feels a little slower from take off but nothing else. I have checked MPG 2 times now and maybe lost 1 MPG (Maybe). Still getting 17 MPG mixed driving.

 

The drive will feel like a heavier truck somewhat, and low end power you will notice it, but it will handle better and be much safer I can say that for sure, those tires really grip.

 

Do you have the 4.6 or 5.4? I have the 5.4 and only average 14-15 mpg with mostly highway driving.
