Northern, they are 285/65/18 bfg at's. Sometimes I wish I would have went with 305's but I bought them when gas prices were soaring and from previous lifted trucks I knew that 33x12.5's put a dent in the gas mileage. I've enjoyed the tires so far though...they ride nice and aren't loud. They are definately a good compromise between stock and 33x12.5's.

Thanks man! I noticed you have a sunroof in your new truck...how do you like it? That is the only thing I would change if I had to go back...I wanted one so bad.

Interesting about sunroofs. I have one on the f150, as well as on my other, much older car, a Honda. I sort of loved it at first and enjoyed driving around with the cover open so the sun could shine in. I didn't like opening it because it was noisy. Then, on my Honda, I decided the sun was too bright shining in, so I tinted it (myself - and I did a good job if I DO say so!). Now, I never use it and I don't know that I've ever opened the one on my f150 at all. I bought the truck in a private sale and would not have looked for this feature, but they are "standard" on the KR.

So, they look sexy, but I'm not a fan. I enjoy having it though, even though I don't use it. (Is this stupid or what)? I guess I see it as a sort of "status symbol", but not good for much else. I know there are people who love them and use them (talked to one of these guys yesterday), but they're just a decoration to me.

And, Northern SuperCrew, your truck's really purty! Wish mine was white!

Not at all Jack. I feel the exact same way about not being a fan. I love that sun roof but probably have only used it MAYBE 1/2 dozen times in the 3.5 years I've owned it. One things for sure though, anyone who has never been in my truck and gets in for the first time always says something like "Oh wow, this thing has a sunroof too!"

Although I kind of wish I didn't have one now. Instead I think I would have like to have had that cargo rail system thing-a-ma-jig. Those look pretty neat

white wasn't even my first choice...was looking at a 08 red FX4 and the salesman kinda steered me towards it....but i'm liking it more and more. i drive 3 white fords at work all week.

I've never had a truck with one so I guess that is what draws me to it. I use my rear sliding glass window daily because it's warm here most of the year.
