This setup looks just about perfect to my eye. Did you have to shave down your calipers at all to get these KMC 18's to fit (like daniellelaven022 had to)?

How do those tires feel in comparison to the goodyears?

Didn't realize you were here. Truck looks so good. Can't wait to copy you! lol

OE Good years are a cheap version of what they normally sell.

Thinner sidewall and not 3 peak snow rated.

Not of fan of them at all.

This is my 5th set of baja boss at’s. I love this tire!

I can attest to this. I went 37s on my raptor with MT Baja boss AT and loved them. They REALLY shine in wet weather and snow conditions.

How much narrower do these look from the rear? Also PSI seems low for the weight of the truck, why do you run them so low? Tire looks great though!

@xkpgx81 with the load rating being E rated that means the tire is stiffer sidewall normally so you can get away with running lower tire pressure and most of the time it helps with ride quality as well. I didn't know this until I did the Carli 4.5 Pintop kit on my F250 and found out people ran the tire pressure as low as 30-32 in rear and 34-36 in front. Now if towing something to be safe I would bump up the tire pressure. The OP can answer but that would be my guess.

Have been running MTs for 20+ yrs. Almost bulletproof tire. I run the Baja Boss A/Ts on my 3500 Cummins. Such a better feel in the corners as almost no roll unlike these flimsy feeling OE Goodyears. Like the OP mentioned they are fantastic all around tires, snow included. Tread wear has also been great, although currently just experienced with a 20” wheel

Got the MTs on last week as well on a 20 inch rim. MT recommended 49 but installers recommended 39. Seems really nice at 39.

I had MT ATZ's on my F250 and they were a nice tire. If I end up with a new RHO which now might wait until 26 model year will have to keep the MT's in mind. I've never been a fan of Good Year.

The tread width is actually .25" wider via a tape measure

Have you mentioned road noise at all with these tires?

they are quiet for as aggressive as they are. Not as quiet as a "street tire" but on par with the oe or some KO2's as an example
