Hi guys. In my search for 18” tires I couldn’t find many with 245/60/18. Thought I would share for anyone researching. The Toyo was very hard to source so I was also debating the BF Goodrich Trail Terrain. I contacted BF Goodrich about the correct psi to run and they recommended 32 psi.

Looks good, what about road noise?
Maybe just a shade more than the stocks. Not even enough to turn up the radio on the highway! Very pleased. I’m thinking as long as the alignment and balance stay good they will be great for a long time!

The difference in air pressure isn't enough to really worry about. Pick your favorite number. 35 PSI works for me, but you pick a number. It's all good.

No issues at all. I have a little over 12000 Km since installing and not even a hint of rubbing.

I thought the black rims from ford were 17". i guess they do come in 18 inch. ??

so just to confirm your running 245/60/18 on the stock rims?

Correct, installed on the Black Appearance Package wheels. I believe they are all 18 inch.

Very nice job and look on yours.......I am currently contemplated taking my 18 Primacys off my Lariat as I got Wildpeak Trails for $183 ea price matched at Discount Tire. They are of course stock size P 225 60/R18 so I wondering if they will really be worth it since my Michelins only have 1500 miles on them. What kind of mileage did you scarifice if I might ask?

Thanks in advance

It’s hard to say, I haven’t really been tracking my gas mileage lately. I feel like I’m winning either way compared to the 5.4 150 I used to have 😉
