I'm looking at a 2004 F-150 4x4 reg. cab 8 foot bed, 5.4 L engine with the

3.55 LSD. The standard tires are P235/75Rx17 BSW All terrain. Optionally, one can choose the P255/70Rx17 OWL All terrain for $325 extra. The optional tires are wider and have lettering. My question - are there other differences such as handling, ride, braking power needed, gas mileage. I plan mainly on highway driving, including occasional snow.

Thanks

Jan, A 235/75 and 255/70 are about the same diameter, ride, handling etc should be almost exactly the same. Any differences would require laboratory testing to notice. Get the ones you like the appearance of.
