Best replacement tires for 18" rims

[pcmpete]

Planning on a new set of tires for my 2016 xlt.
What is everyone else replacing with, Brand/Model/Size?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by “tires for my rims” since a rim is the outermost lip of a wheel. But for expeditions, ppl seem to be going towards the poor boy “wanna be like every other Instagram star” and doing the ever so popular Fuels, Moto metal, or the like. 18-22” wheels seem to be popular size. Then you have the idiots who think that raptor wheels actually look good on our cinder block trucks... not so much

I'm sure that helped him a lot....

Pcmpete,
what are you going for? Different look, better traction in specific conditions or just a stock replacement? Also what state do you live in? Knowing where you live helps people understand what type of weather you deal with and that usually is one of the biggest factors when searching for tires.

Good city and highway? Dilapidated unrepaired city streets? Highway and a bit of gravel/dirt to your porch?

Or offroading adventuring?

Try googling Car Rim. Simple question

Mainly freeway driving, towing boat and the weekend.
Quieter tire the better

You probably want Prated, then, unless towing weight makes you want LTs?

I got a set of Michelin 255/70r18 LTX M/S2's (prated version, despite the name) for $104/ea & free shipping from Walmart.com a few months back

They seem to hold online clearances or something, plenty of $100-ish brand name tires there

Do you mean 325/60/18?
Do you have any pics of this setup?

Googly moogly that seems like it would be quite the bulge.
I had 315s on my 9” wide Mustang wheels and it was the maximum bulge I would want and those were Nittos which are slim compared to many tires.
325s on a rim a 1/2” less in width seems pretty wild.

I too am trying to decide the biggest tire I want to go with on the factory 18.
