I actually just purchased my 2011 Raptor but it will be needing new tires soon. I'm strongly leaning towards the Falkens but live in Houston and a lot of the areas I would take the truck turn to mud really quick or have some small mud patches to get to them. Does anyone know how these tires perform in minimum mud? I'm not going to be going "mudding" just don't want to get stuck trying to make it somewhere I can open up and run lol

they will do okay - but they wont clean themselves out like a true mud tire. you'll have to keep them spinning pretty quick to keep them clean and keep moving forward.

LeDZep, or anyone else,

Do you have any problems with the tires (325/70x17) rubbing at mid-perch? I am thinking of getting these tires at this size and have my Raptor set at mid-perch. I am also running the stock wheels.

I want to get as close to a true 35 as possible. The Falkens seem to be the only game for that size tire.

I purchased the 325/70's based off this thread alone and have had a terrible time for the last 1.5 months. This size in particular is very heavy and if you not running atleast a 9-10 wide wheel you may have problems as well. It took 4 places in Charlotte NC to balance, had them road force balanced twice and last week Falken replaced all 4 with brand new 35x12.50's.

The difference in weight between the two is 82 lbs (325/70) and 74 lbs(35x12.5) roughly, which means I dropped a significant weight on all 4 corners and it is night and day. I have heard since the purchase that the Wild Peaks will always have a contast "wobble" for some reason around higher speeds.

I'm sorry for posting if I'm looked down on for having a standard F-150

Qcfx2,

What type of suspension upgrade on your F150? I think the Raptor setup is designed to handle the bigger tires over a stock or lift kit F150. I am thinking that the 325's are not much larger than the stock tire, and shouldn't be much of an issue. The Cepek Fun Countries are close to the same weight and size(bit smaller) but could be an alternative. I will take your advice on looking and questioning.

I am only running a 2 inch level with no other suspension upgrades. The reason I went with 325/70 was because it is a true 35" and are both 13.1" wide. I figured since I ran the nitto trail's in 295/70/18 they were almost an 80lb tire I would be good on the 82lb 325/70's.

I was stuck between 37's and a bunch more money in mods or stick with 35's. I decided to go with the Flaken Wildpeaks, but instead oh the stock tire size 315/70R17 I went with a 325/70R17. These are a true 35" tire and are about .6" wider and taller than the stocks.

Also would like to know if anyone has these mounted on stock tires?

BFG AT's always load up with mud. Sucks having to floor it in mud out of control to clear out the tread.
