I can't decide which tires. Taller or Wider?

    305's look good. :)

    But I do have to agree with Chris4x4, get what suits your offroading needs. ;)

    Lol well I don't know what would suit my off roading needs since this is my first 4x4 lol. I swear the choices when it comes to tires is so exhausting lol. There is also a tire inbetween these two at a 285/65/18. Ugh so confused now lol.

    I like the wider look better... and since this will probably spend most of its time on road, go with what you think looks better...

    Haha, well if you go on sand alot, then get the wider tire. You will get the most surface area for your tire, which will prevent you from getting stuck as much. None the less, I'm not saying that you won't get stuck, but you get my drift. If you are doing something else like trails, then I'm not too sure. You'll have to get some other insight from people who specialize in that specific type of offroading. ;)

    I had the exact same truck as picture 1. Same color and options. I had 35's with 18" wheels and a 3" lift. In my opinion, on a bigger truck, you should go with the wider tires. It just suits the truck and looks much better.

    Geez I haven't even posted pictures of my new Tacoma yet, and here I am posting pics of my F150!
