Duratrac tires on 2010 F150 XLT 4x4 Stock rims no lift

Available are LT275/65R18, LT275/70R18, LT295/65R18
Will all of these fit stock rims, no lift?
What do you have? Tire dealer suggested 275/70/18.

I would like to know the same thing. I'd rather not put a leveling kit on the truck while it's still under warranty, but would like a little bit bigger tires to fill up the wheel wells with no rubbing or interference.

I know you have my reply on other forums but for guys on this forum I have the 295/65R18's on 18x9 wheels w/ 5.71 bs. I had this setup for a week before I put a 1.5" level on a '09 FX4. Had no rubbing issues and put on about 400 miles/week driving so truck didn't sit. From what I understand any '04+ 4x4 truck can handle 33" tires w/ no rubbing given the same/similar bs as current OEM wheels.

I did not understand that the wheels you have are the same as factory so I did not understand that the 295's would work with the factory wheels.
I can't believe that there are not many Duratrac users on these forums; it is an exceptional tire.

I believe the 20" OEM tires I had before had 6.31 of bs so not sure how they compare to the 18" OEM's. I should have given that info earlier. Tire is relatively new, I think still less than a year to be widely distributed. Tire cost is a little higher too, but compares to BFG's pretty good.

I did go ahead and order the 275/70/18's.
My wife got stuck in a 4x4 yesterday by simply pulling off to the side of the road; BFG TA/KO. I don't think that would have happened with the Duratrac.

Hey fellas, I have looked long and hard at the Duratracs. Look good. I have heard 2 different complaints about them. One is that the mileage went south a ways with the Duratracs. And the other is many people felt like the tire did too much "floating" on the highway. What are you all's opinions?

Thanks

They drive fine to me. Probably not as "smooth" as factory tires but the truck handles really well; no complaints.
Didn't measure fuel mileage before and after; put on the next day after buying truck. Get 15.3 now at 900 miles. Street tires would get better mileage. You want street or you want to not get stuck pulling off side of the road?

Just ordered a set of Duratrac's, 295/65/18 it was a real toss up between these and the Michelin LTZ A/T2. Both brands were stupid expensive tires. But the look of the Duratrac won me over.
