I see alot of post asking what tires will fit on an F-150 and wanted to share my setup.

2015 F-150
35x11.5R20
Rough Country level (front only)

No Rub anywhere. It's about an inch from front crash bars, but clears everywhere else easily.

(front bumper is bent due to recent game of tag my better half had with another vehicle)





ETA: Updated Pic (it shows on pg. 2)

You are about to hate your mileage. And that's coming from someone content with 15 mpg on 33s.

I kinda anticipated that, but I have a work vehicle so I use my truck sparingly. We'll see though

You have the 3.5 or 5.0?

I had the same exact setup on my f150 as well as CP3. Rode great and very quiet. Will be getting a set on my new gmc soon

As for the mpg Rando i went from 17-18 mpg stock to 15-16 mpg so wasn’t that bad. I had the 5.0 6 speed, towing my bay boat was like 10 mpg.

Mileage went from 24-25mpg at 60mph to 17-18mpg at 60

I’d be willing to bet it’s more from the weight of the load range E than it is the size.

Yeah I have the same exact setup. I dont really pay much attention to MPG but I dont think it is that much worse than with the stock tires.

These types of tires are significantly heavier than stock plus bigger and significantly more traction/ resistance to rolling. They kill mileage. I have 33” cooper st maxx on my tundra and it hit my mileage hard.

Yep definitely is. I had 275/60/20 Dueler AT on from dealer. The new tires aren’t THAT much bigger to make the drop just from size. Definitely from being E

Computer won't be reading that right, so do it by hand and figure it out.

Looks like I misspoke. The 17-18mpg is at 75. Getting 21-22 at 60. So dropped 3-4mpg at 60

Looks good. I have had them for about 30K on my Jeep, in a 35x12.50x17. They wear well, I rotate the every oil change, no cupping or anything. Only issue is the sidewalls seem weak or thin, the only tire I have consistently ripped sidewalls on. Admittingly most people won't have that issue.

I try to not find the mud at this age, the cleanup is always a chore, lol.

But I wanted something to be capable of I needed it. And I have confidence these will.

did you have your computer re calibrated for the tire size? If not the computer is not giving you the true mileage. It bases mileage on the wheel speed sensors input and the load on the motor inputs.

Your truck thinks it's going 75 but in reality it's closer to 80.

IMO the best set up for the F150 if you go off road any.

Just FYI you will be traveling 5 mph faster than what your speedometer is reading.

I have the same set up.That is a Beautiful color truck I have always drove white trucks.

I have a 2016 F150 in Caribou. But i'm definitely going back to white for my next one. Tired of it only staying clean for 2 days.

Yeah, I'm kinda upset they don't offer the "guard" color anymore. But I guess it makes mine more unique?

Lord knows they offer 15 shades of white/black/silver though.
