https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1477572-tire-and-wheel-combo-for-f450.html#post16979754 is probably what I'll do. I'm AOK waiting for awhile for the order to drag on as is apparently the risk with Rickson.

The odd thing is that the disclaimer at the bottom says that the ad is for tires only
Slightly confusing ad, but maybe I'm missing something.

Very confusing add, but I triple checked, includes the wheels. That's who I bought mine from. He has no idea what the wheels are....

I did not want to give up any weight capacity. That why I bought the f550 in the first place.

These are rated at 12790 on each axle, and the wheels are rated for more.

Returned Sunday from our annual five day "Winter Trip". This time we went to extreme SE Oregon and the Owyhee River. Once again the camper and truck performed superbly. No issues, though there was more than one hairy moment during about 60 miles of muddy slick dirt road. In SE OR you want to avoid any road that isn't an all weather road when its raining.

If I can remember how to post pics I will do so.

In the mean time here is the link to my Lightroom pics.

Thanks to info from this web site we found where others have forded the river at the bottom of the canyon.

Following Java's lead and purchased 4 Hutchensen wheels with 285/70r19.5 tires. They are lost in shipment just like his. Looking forward to experimenting with them and comparing the duel wheel setup with the singles.

a great looking truck. the trip looks like it was a good time.

you know i have to ask the question, " how did the tire set up work? still wishing for those super singles?"

 

[HowardH]

Considering we didn’t get stuck and had no tire problems I’d say the duels work just fine.

I did manage to get a good buy on a set of singles and 285/70r19.5 tires. I’ll experiment.

My understanding is that singles will be much better in snow and mud.

By my house I’ve a beach full of fist size rocks. The duels really struggle with them. Very interested to see how the truck does with singles.
