The first season was fantastic.

I'm still at unscheduled/clean according to Ford yesterday...I'm not necessarily in a rush to get the truck, but its going to suck if/when I see one on the road and I'm still waiting.

I know this is pre production but those are clearly 35x12.50r17.

You'll find that those aren't exactly 35" either. We discussed this a while back - the fact that ford was using both tires on the prototypes. I actually asked BFG why they made two tires that are almost exactly the same (they're ever so slightly different) but even they couldn't tell me what the difference was. I'm sure there's a difference and someone at BFG knows but customer service was clueless.

I agree.

From the specs on the BFG site:
315/70R17 34.4" tall and 12.7" wide on a 9.5" rim
35x12.50R17 34.5" tall and 12.5" wide on a 20" rim

These two tires are nearly identical. The only real difference is that the 315s are E load rated and the 35s are D load rated.

^well it would be side wall

The 35's are E rated also.

The 35's are E rated also.

Then one really has to wonder why make two nearly identical sizes....
