Most online places arnt that cheep UNLESS you buy the tire wheel package mounted and then freight can take quite a bite... but the mounted combo is the only way i would suggest buying online unless you have the ability to demount/mount your own tires. I dont know if 06 has the required TPMS sensors but that is another cost... Lame as all get out if you ask me. :twocents:

I guess I should clarify. I meant no bigger than 18" wheels but would probably go with 17" as that is what I had on my last truck and I liked them. I have had good experience with Toyo and also Mickey Thompson. I don't want anything too aggressive but want something that is a good all terrain set up.What size are stock wheels for your truck? If you go below that wheel diameter you may have clearance issues over the brakes. If 18's were stock you may not be able to go to a 17.
I have Cooper AT3's on my truck and very pleased with them.

I will check and see what the stock spare is underneath. I bought it with the after market wheels and tires

I'd look at Nitto Terra Grappler tires. Good tires, made by the same company who makes Toyo at a much lower price.
:twocents:
If it were me, I'd run 18's I think.

I'd go with 17's if I were you, cheaper wheels and tires and I personally think they look better than 18's abd up. 285 70 17s are about 33 inches and look good on a stock f150. And I'm pretty sure you can fit a 33 in the spot for your spare. What type of tire are you wanting?:yeah:
That's the exact tire size I ran on my 04 Supercrew, and I had zero issues with fitting a full size spare under the truck. I'd expect since you are already sitting on 35's that you have a leveling kit installed, is that the case? Once you change everything, be sure to get an alignment done, otherwise you'll have uneven tire wear, trust me.

Stock tires/wheels:
TIRE: P275/65R18
Not sure of the correct term... is it possible that they were 18's stock because of the trim/options?
I dont know of any brakes on 1 tons that require more than 17" wheels to clear. I know a one ton dodge requires 17" because the 16s would rub on the caliper

I'd assume it's definitely the trim package. Probably a limited or other nicely equipped truck with all the bells and whistles.

I swapped out the stock 18's on my 2007 F150 for 17's and running the Goodyear duratracs.....so far they are the best tire I have run.....throw mud like my Mickey Thompson MTZ's but are very quiet running on the road and wearing great....very good in the snow too.......Discount tire has some very good sales at times that's where I went.

Otherwise the suggestions for the 18's are the best bet as the rotors will be problems for some of the 17 inch choices both on cooling and possibly rubbing on the rotors.

I have an 06 and I switch back and forth from 17" to 18" depending on the deals I find on used tires. I feel sorry for you when its time to change your plugs though :chuckle:
Luckily the guy I bought it from did the 100k tune up at 80k miles and did a bunch of other maintenance so plugs have been changed. :tup:
