tire help for a F-150 with 18" wheels

Post by SHOWBOAT »

Looking for a set of 275/65/R18 tires for my truck. Willing to go a little wider/taller, but I don't want to vary to much from stock size. Having a heck of a time finding BF Goodrich T/A KOs. Apparently Michelin bought BFG, phasing these tires out, yada yada. I know we have a couple tire folks on the forum. Can anybody get me a set of 4? Other recomendations if I can't find the BFGs?

Thanks in advance

BFG's is all I've ever had on my truck, but I'll be replacing them with Cooper Discoverer AT/3's this weekend...significantly less expensive with a 55k warranty.

I've run them on my last two vehicles (jeep and an F-150). Running the second set on the F-150. Got mine at Sun Tire.

Jared is THE MAN! It is well worth getting tires from him just to watch he and his pit crew work so quick and efficiently!

Jared doesn't work there anymore...that's one of the reasons why I'm not opting for another set of BFG's.

I just replaced the tires on my f150. Same size. Had some cheap Kelly's and hey slipped all over the place in the rain. Decided to go with Michelin LTX MS this time. Not cheap but I have been very pleased. I don't live anywhere near your area though.

Chill-N-Grill's wife was able to hook me up. Located the BFGs and for cheaper than Costco has quoted before they realized they couldn't source them. New shoes this week.
