Worst idea Ford ever did was make a 17" wheel. The selection of tires is next to none and the price of tires is through the roof. The only tire I can find in a 285/70/17 is BFG A/T's and they are gonna cost $205 per tire. What am I gonna do?

I payed for 17 inches dunlop, i think would have to look for sure, $560 installed, the same BFG that you have there was $700 something installed.
So you need to get away from BF goodrich tires. they are too expensive.
edit, I got A/T mud tires.
Beat ya to it.

My Tundra also has 17s on it and I plan on paying a atleast 800.00 for tires in about 20K miles.
Another solution would be to sell your 17s and get some 16s for your Ford. It's the whole big rim trend that makes FORD and other car makers do dumb stuff like this.
I mean find some 15" wheels that will work and buy the less expensive 15" tires?
