Looking to upgrade from the stock 265/70-18's.

Everyone seems to go 295/70/18 But BF Goodrich doesn't make one that size. And thats a deal killer for me. 305/70-18 they make in a All Terrain KO2. Thats what im looking at.

Anyone have pics of this tire on their rig?

Thanks in advance.

 

It's going to look basically the same as a 35" tire. It's 0.19 inches less tall and about a half inch skinnier.

 

285/75-18 is a better option and plenty of choices in that size these days. I just put these Falkens on the other day. 4080 lb load capacity per tire.

 

I actually dropped the BFG KO2's 20's in the stock size for the Cooper AT3 XLT's in the 295/70-18. I have ran the BFG's for years on multiple vehicles with that said, they were horrible on the Super Duty. Quick wear and hard as a rock. Could feel every little bump. The Coopers are a nice upgrade.

 

Getting me to switch from BFG's is going to be tough. ive run them on just about everything for the past 25years. I get on average 50-55K miles out of a set usually.
BUT, if i do switch, it would most likely be to the Coopers. i just like that 295/70-18 and the 285/75-18 looks good too. its a stock STX truck and the 265's are screaming for an upgrade.

 

I'll probably have the 305/70-18 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx's on this weekend... as long as the kevel install goes as planned. Pics to follow.

 

What offset you running there?

 

20mm. Rims are 18x9.

 

Thanks, I've got 18×9 +1mm.

 

I’m running 305/70-18 Cooper STT Pros. They’re 35.08 inches tall. Which appears to be taller than a lot of other manufacturers in the 305 size. Check my recent posts on the subject for pics.

 

I ran BFG on personal trucks for over two decades, at first MT then KO. When BFG switched original KO to KO2 I switched to Cooper ST Maxx. We have run KO2 on our work trucks probably four years now. I was a doubter but found the KO2 does what they say and has good traction for at least the first half tread. If you need deep snow traction the KO2 looses it after half tread or so. I am on my second truck with ST Maxx and I like ST Maxx better. F250 photo is ST Maxx 305/70-18 (35x12.5).

 

285/75-18 on stock wheels (Maxxis Razr MT) Just over 35" high but still tucked under the fenders and in front of the OEM mud flaps.

 

I have Cooper STT Pros in 38. Great tires. Smooth riding and quiet for a mud terrain.

 

Can anyone comment on cooper pros vs cooper maxx? I'm going to be towing 80%, off road 20%. I like the look of the pros better but am wondering if the maxx would be more practical for my use.

 

How rough is the off road use? My Nitto Duras Grapplers (highway terrain tread) in 305/70R18 are listed at 35.28"X12.8" and are the quietest truck tire that I have ever used and they are wearing like iron even with 80% of their miles towing heavy.
