Tallest Tire on 2011+

[Jeff@Spartan]

My dad is about due for some new tires on his 2012 F-250. He is wanting to go to something a little larger than the 275/65/20 Michelin that he currently has on there. The truck is stock height and he doesn't have any plans for suspension modifications, so we're going to go to the biggest tire he can put on the factory 20's without rubbing anywhere. I know the fenders are different (slightly smaller it seems) on the newer trucks, so I figured he probably couldn't do quite as large of a tire as we can with the 08-10 trucks.

Thanks in advance!

i would think a stock height truck could clear 33s pretty easy.

The 275/65/20 is a 34" tire. I don't think he wants to go backwards.

my bad i miss read the size in the origonal post, nut since they are 34s then i dont see why i wont clear 35s since a leveling kit will clear 37s

I think something tall and skinny is going to be most appropriate. That way there is no chance for rubbing on the radius arms. It's hard to find something that matches that in an AT. I was thinking about the 295/60/20 that I use to run on my factory 20s. It's 34.5" tall and just over 12" wide.

A couple of my friends run 35 X 12.5 X 20's on stock 20's with no issues. It may rub a little on the back of the fender well depending on how thick the mud flaps are.

35x12.50/20 Mickey Thompson ATZ

Its a little skinnier than like the comparable toyo tires

Looks FANTASTIC

Thanks for the input guys.

When he gets some could you post up pics if you happen to remember? My dads tires are wearing down and he's thinking of doing the same but maybe with a tei spacer.

My friends dad had 35x12.50 fierce mud terrains on his 17s and they don't rub at all except for when he has his plow on

I believe he is going to go with the 295/60/20 Terra Grappler. It's a heavy duty tire (perfect for the farm) and is noticeably larger than the factory size tires. At least that's what I found with my experience with them.

Probably a good choice, i have seen a couple trucks here with 35/12.5 on stock wheels and they do just fine. the inner fenders are a little better about rubbing than the 08s it seams, fender opening is the same or bigger too... but like i said i think you picked the right tire

dads truck is on 35/12.50 KM2s just fine.

but I know you already got a set for his truck. just saying.
