Need new tires/Seeking advice

[762Armo]

Since my tires are pretty bold now, it's a perfect time to upgrade..

I have an '08 F150. Stock tires are 255/70R17. I want to run bigger tires, that would are better suited for the mountains than the stock tires.

How would one go about finding out how big of tires I could run on the same rims and stock suspension without any problems?
255/70 converts to roughly 31.1x10.04 in inches.
I would like to have something a bit wider and taller, like 33x12.50, and run it on the same rims I have. Is this possible?

Thinking of some BFG All terrains, or something similiar.

Cooper discoverer st Maxx in 275 70 17. I don't think they are quite 33's but they would look nice and they are a great tire.

You wont be able to run 12.50s on stock rims..........look inside the door jamb and see what the stock rims are.........if theyre 7in, Id go LT 265 75 17s........

Will do, tried to look on the existing rim/tire, but didn't see anything that says how wide they are.

Just sipe the centers, leave the shoulders alone.....they will hold up better off pavement.

It's on your VII tag on the driver's door.

Just remember that bigger tires = more wear on your brakes and drive train.

Had them on my truck till a couple weeks ago. Have them on all of our work trucks. I wouldnt buy another pair. Not impressed at all.

Be very carefull about siping tires , if you are in rocky terrain they wont last ( I know from experience ) run in 4wd when off road to keep from chunking the rears , the toyo m55's are good rock tires . I've had good luck with bf mt's aswell , just air down a bit . I'd stick with stock sizes inless you gonna get a tunner and recalibrate for them .
