Changing tire/wheel size ???
I have a 2009 Ford f350 Super Duty FX4 4x4 SuperCab Diesel with single rear wheels.
The tire size that came stock on the struck is : LT 275 / 65 R 20 .
I have been unable to find any tire manufacturer that makes a dedicated snow tire in this size.
I always like to have sepparate rims & tires dedicated for the Winter , so I can easily make the change-over myself rather than waiting in line at the tire dealer.
I am looking for advice on what size rim and tire I should make the move to on this truck for dedicated winter rims and tires ?

I did a little research on this and about the best you are going to do is a Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac....same size, aggressive tire and is studdable. VERY EXPENSIVE... you are looking at about $345 a piece, and you still need to buy a set of steel rims. Let us know how you make out

I was on the telephone with Customer Service for thetirerack.com
( dealt with them many times - wonderful company ) ,
and the rep said most online mailorder tire companies do not get their
stock of snow tires in until mid-Sept , and I should see a better selection
online by end of September. I am staying with 20" rims for my dedicated snow tire set.
I was able to get some 20" Ford OEM rims , brand new on e-bay for a beautiful price.
