285/65R18 Firestone Destination M/T...pics needed

I need some pics of 285/65R18 on a leveled f150. Reason being i followed that thread for 35% off bridgestone/firestone and its legit. Are these tires worth getting for the discount. How many miles people been getting out of them. Thanks in advance

I remember reading in a thread that they get about 30-35k but I could be wrong. I heard
that they are a pretty decent MT tire. My guess would be 25-30k in mileage - at least that
is about what I got out of past MT's.

I have them on my jeep, and they are awesome. Clean well in mud. Grip good. Last a good time too, aslong as you keep them rotated/balanced, they will last a good time.

325's are way too wide for stock wheels, i'd Stick with the 285's...too bad more companies dont make a 305 65 18 like BFG...they are a perfect size for stock wheels IMHO

i went and got the 285's today and they look pretty good. I saved $350. With mounting and balancing it was $900. I thought that was pretty good to when i priced BFG they were minimum $1400 and for 305's were $1550. So i think i got a pretty good deal. Ill post pics shortly!
