I have on 06 f150 with 90,000 miles. its the 4.6l v8 Has a two inch leveling kit and i found Pro comp tires 285/70r17. I am also going to put Moto metal wheels on it. my question is, what kind of wear and tear can i expect to see on my truck...anything major? also i do mainly interstate driving and get around 18mpg. what can i expect with the slightly biggers tires?
Since you are only going an inch or 2 larger than stock, there shouldn't be a noticeable difference in mileage or wear and tear. I have the same year truck and I'm running stock size Toyo M55 10 ply tires and the only difference I've noticed over stock ( on 18's ) is more noise. That said, welcome to FFO and we'd love to see pics of your truck!
