Tire recommendations?

Venomrex 602s with Duratracs:

I agree that is quite a lot of savings. What setup are you going with?

My wheel and tire package when my 2019 comes should be 10 pounds lighter per corner. 10 pounds lighter is a lot of weight savings.

A set of 20” tires will fit perfectly on those 17” wheels!!!

Op get yourself some Michelin Defenders you’ll do great! There 58lbs in 35x12.5-20

That’s about 9lbs with a set of 601-20” venomrex, your welcome

I just recently went with the 601s and the 35” Ridge Grapplers. After the 9.1 lb gain on the tires and the 8.5 lb loss on the wheels I ended up .6 lbs heavier per corner. I definitely can feel the difference in the truck. She feels slower off the line and my mpg has gone down almost 2 when I am driving it hard. On the plus side the Nittos handle much better in the rain.

If you wanted a performance street rod you probably should have bought a regular F150, lowered and lightened it. 20" wheels on a Raptor are ridiculous.

Why the F does everybody always feel the need to add stupid comments and opinions? If you don't have anything to contribute to the question I asked just MOVE ALONG.
