Check out Toyo RTs. Great all around tire and looks aggressive!

How are they in terms of noise?

Got my SW "dump" style exhaust installed today.

It's surprisingly quiet. I would say it's about 10% louder than stock. Idles kind of nice cause it has a grumble to it. Can't tell if there are any power gains (if there are, it's pretty insignificant).

No complains here though. It's exactly what I wanted.

Installing the dump style exhaust also allowed me to install the bed step I had previously purchased. The oem exhaust used to get in the way of the bed step.

Im running 37s and virtually no road noise. That's tested at 90mph down the freeway.

How about fuel economy? Are they better or worse than the BFG's the truck came with?

I'm actually considering switching back to either BFG's or the R/T's at this point as my mud grapplers are yielding me a significantly worse gas mileage.

welcome bay area. with 37's I average 9.5 to 11 mpg, depending on where I'm driving. in the city,,, 9.5.

I am averaging between 10.5-11.5.. Pedal Commander is cranked up a bit. But yes the size of the tires alone probably is the real culprit.

You bought a high performance truck and actually care about the gas mileage? LOL

Well... yeah.

If he really cared about the gas mileage he wouldn't have a Raptor.
