Sled_Hed Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I'm looking at putting tires on my F-150 before winter and wondering what specific brands have been good for everyone since its been awhile since i tire shopped. Prefer something good in snow and occasionally mud. It has michelens currently that are just ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted October 28, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 28, 2023 I like Cooper tires as well, not the cheapest not the most expensive, a good tire at a good price.. General makes some good tires too. Been putting those on a lot of SUV's we get in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Mastercraft axt2 are excellent tires for a slight discount. Otherwise id never buy anything other than cooper for a truck if you’re gonna spend the money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they don't put E load range tires on anything with the tow capacity of a modern pickup is crazy. The Tires improved the towing feel a lot.

Prefer something good in snow and occasionally mud. It has michelens currently that are just ok. Get on Tire Rack and read their track test results. They test in all conditions and compare tires in groups of 3-4. If you’re looking for good winter tires you can search by triple peaks and compare. If the selection is not what you’re looking for you can look at snow, wet, and ice traction by tire. I’m running Michelin Cross Climate’s on both my AWD vehicles. Not trucks but gives you an idea. I start by searching for triple peaks and go from there. Edited October 28, 2023 by SnowRider 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
