Ok, so I'm trying really hard and I just cannot for the life of my figure this out..I don't think the female brain can understand this like you guys can
Anyways, I'm about to get some new tires, the ready lift 3/2, and I have decided on these rims....
I'm struggling with what tires to get. One guy at a tire shop suggested federal rts 33", but the guy from Mrwheeldeal said 33" will cause it to rub even with the lift.
I really like the set up with the tires poking out some. I'll post the recommendations from Mrwheeldeal. Please help me!!!!!
*I'm not looking for off roading tires, I drive highway and interstate quite a bit, I just want the more agressive look. Screenshot_20210311-142952_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20210310-100050_Gmail.jpg

They can generally pull your sensors off your factory wheels but if you’re buying them mounted and balanced already you could just buy new sensors as well. I highly doubt you’ll rub. If it were me I’d buy the BFG or Good Year out of those options.

If you drive mainly on interstate and highway why do you want/need such an aggressive tread? Why not go with a better all season tire that would give you better stopping, handling, less noise and maybe a little better mileage life. I get the whole aggressive look thing but consider your safety first.

Having a female brain is not the problem, the issue of what wheel/tire is best has been discussed numerous times and in the end it all boils down to what you expect from the tires.
I think the tire stores you are speaking with are not taking your driving environment into account OR you may be leading them to believe you want this type of aggressive tread and they are giving you what you ask for.

I live in FL and drive only on paved roads/highways. My criteria are good handling/stopping wet and dry and I don't have to worry about ice/snow.
I'm due for tire in the next few months and these are my top 3, I have 18" wheels.

I have the Bridgestone Dueler tires on my 2013 Expedition (20" wheel) and love them. I'll buy them again when the time comes.

I did 295/70-18 nitto ridge grapplers and the only mod I had to do was pull the felt forward on the front of the wheel well. I went with the 3/2 lift. It was close to the power running boards but cleared so I took them off and cut 3/4” off them and reinstalled the picture with the trailer is after the lift the other two are when I drove it gone from discount tire with the tires on and stock suspension
