F150 Truck Tire Recommendations

Yokahama Geolander X AT 10 ply here, on NM roads. F-150 Lariat Off road 4x

I run the KO2 10 ply. They are worlds better than the Destinations they replaced and have punctured only once vs 10 times on Firestone’s. They do ride stiff and I’m not a fan of the noise but it’s nice not dropping by tire shop for repairs every couple months. I do drive a lot on gravel.

Do you find 10 ply tires to be a rougher ride when not pulling a heavy trailer or carrying a big load?

With today's tire technology I'm wondering if 10 ply is necessary unless you have a specific daily need like a truck camper.

I've ran 10ply ST Maxx on my Tacoma for the past 6 years. They are what will be going back on when this set wears out. Extremely tough tires, the added protection against flats and sidewall cuts is worth every tradeoff. They're gonna be heavier of course, but peace of mind in the middle of nowhere is worth the weight penalty.

I’ve gotten about 68k miles out of Cooper ST Maxx but I haven’t bought all 4 for under $1000 if that’s a hard number.

Cooper AT3 XLT
Been a great all around tire. Quiet for an All terrain.

This ^^^^. I have the AT3 XLT on my F150 and really like them. Mine were not under $1000, but close.

BF Goodrich All-terrain K02 10-ply have been awesome on my F-150. Not much experience on snow or ice but I beat the heck out of them and 30k miles later they still look new. I picked them up at Costco, definitely under $1,000. I don't remember the exact cost.

The Cooper Discoverer STT Pros I have on my 4runner have been pretty amazing in all conditions. I paid somewhere in the 800s for all 4 in 35x12.5

Have about 60k on my Nitto’s with 20k left. 2013 F150 4x4 Long Bed.

Falken Wildpeaks have been awesome for me as well as five buds who run them in ID and MT. Damn good tires.

 

[uwantasandwich]

Anyone have experience with Falkens?

have the wildpeaks on my f150. they've been great so far, performance and wear wise. guy at the shop was even surprised the other day when rotated em how well they were wearing for having 20k miles. i got the load range E and have lost a couple mpg's though

 

[NoWiser]

Falken Wildpeaks on my F150. My hunting buddies switched to them as well. We all love them.

My favorite truck tires are dura tracks. But I have had and liked bfg ko2s and Nitto ridge grapplers as well.
IMHO, with good quality rubber, there is no need to run a 10 ply on a half ton. On a big diesel that weighs 9k empty sure, but On an f150 that will Just equate to more cost, less mpg and yes, a rougher ride. I have run 8 ply on my ram 2500 (gasser) for several years and won’t go back to 10 ply.

Glad that works for you. My experience in SE OR says 10 ply is a minimum. So consider the country you will use them in, before picking a ply rating, is my hard earned advice. Ya, had some flats...this was on a couple “light” Toyota’s.

Been running ST MAXX on both mine and my wife’s trucks for years now. Not one flat. 40k+ miles if you stay up on rotations. Quiet on the highway. Good in snow and off road. Buddies haven’t been too excited a out their KO2s recently.

I also wasted $ on the firestones. Straight junk. I'm on my second set of DuraTracs and I couldn't be happier. I'm right around 70k on my current set and still have some tread to wear. I'll probably keep them until winter hits. Don't remember how many miles I got off the first set.

 

[canuckhunter]

They might be a little out of your budget but Toyo M-55 wear like leather. The best tire you can find all round, except ice, but other than Bridgestone Blizzaks what’s good on ice. As others have stated KO2 also a good alternative.

Duratracs are really good all around tires. I’m quite happy w my set.

I have General Grabber AT2s on my F250 right now. 10 ply, I haul wood, etc. I've also run them on an F150. Worst set of tired I've ever had were Firestones.

 

[Goose2345]

I’m also a huge fan of the falken Wild peak put them on my eco boost three years ago since then I’ve put them on two of my work trucks and both of my plow trucks great tire for me so far!

I've been through a lot of tires on multiple different F150's, and the Cooper AT3 XLT has been my favorite all around tire ever. Smooth, quiet, excellent ride, great in wet and snowy/icy roads.

I've also had good luck with the grabbers.
