Also any recommendations for replacements close to the same size? I'm not too excited with the ride or durability of the Goodyears but don't want to look like a 4x4. I'm hoping Michelin will start producing the LTX for this truck but who knows.

Thanks in advance.

JD,

Mine wore out all of a sudden - I'd rotated, and on time, too. The front ones on my truck suddenly were 'just burned off' ... I only got 26,000 out of them.

The good news is that although my local area chain tire store sells a good 18" replacement for over a grand for all four tires, I was able to get a set of Continentals as takeoffs from some guy's new Ford. Load range E, no less. The ride and handling is 'crisper'.

But the guy drove out of the Ford dealership three blocks up the street and into Les Schwab's, so they had all the little nubby things still on them. HALF PRICE because somebody spent $38,000 on a Ford and figured they hadn't spent enough already.
