Default Expedition Tire size
My 2005 Expedition came with 18 inch rims(stock f150 rims I think).
I want to add a more off road friendly tires and maybe a tad larger.
Any ideas.... links wanted....

Go to www.Tires.com, enter your vehicle info and it will tell you what tire size options you can run.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

A 265/60R18 is roughly 30.5 inches tall. Your truck came stock with a 265/70R18 which are about 32.5 inches tall. What type of off roading do you do in what type of terrain? Is this a daily driver for you as well?

It's my wifes DD. Most if not all the off roading would be done on trips to Pismo and Glamis. I'm thinking I'll get a good set of road tires and get a 2nd set of wheels and tall off road tires for the summer trips.

I've heard the BFG A/T does well in sand. I had them on a Toyota 4x4 I used to have and they worked well for most of the stuff I took them through. I just never had them in the sand.

I've had them on many of my vehicles and always liked them. One set I was not impressed with was a skinny set so make sure you get a decent width or they won't last.

The truck currently has BFG A/T but they are in VERY bad shape (understatement). I was looking at the BFG A/T KO's. The look like they would have a lot of bite in the sand. Anyone know where I get them for a good price? Discount tire or i may have been tire rack wants almost 300.00 each.
