Finally new tires(pics included)

Guys like the title says I finally wore out the crappy wrangler sra's. I purchased some cooper stts they are really meaty and surprisingly quiet just a little bit of hum at highway speeds. The size is 275/70r18s, Let me know what you think.

Truck looks great man! I've got the same tires on mine. They're 285/70 17's. I've had mine on for about 7,500 miles and they've been great so far.

That bumper looks like it could mash through a concrete building.

Thanks guys I definitely get the most compliments on the bumper. I think the tires tied the whole look together. I am thinking I need fender flares now

Nice truck...love the new F-150's, love the looks of the SST's too
Not sure if the sst's have the same compound as the ST versions like im running , but beware they loose their bite after a while when the sharp edges wear off.
Cooper uses a harder compound rubber for better wear but when it gets cold and wet out they like to slip around. Hopefully the SST's are softer for ya and don't give you issues. My ST's have decent tread left after 5yrs ..just no bite when it comes to crappy roads.
oh... love the bumper too, sure could use it for those cell phoners in the fast lane doing 70

I usually don't like those after market bumpers. I have to say , that one looks great. Nice fit, blends well, -looks like it grew there lol.

I hope they last pretty good I have heard pretty good things I love the tread.
