Yesterday put new tires on the F-150.... I got Mastercraft Courser MSR's.... This will be the third set of these I've had on the truck... Each time I've gotten 50,000 miles out of them and I never rotate tires... They are made by Cooper Tire with the Mastercraft brand on them... Good aggressive tire that is not noisy on the road... These were 275/65 R18's and were $145 a piece... So if your looking to re-tire, check these out as they won't break the bank and are a decent tire....

I always ran the cooper brand on my previous trucks and had good luck and wear with them. Had a set of Mastercraft on my S10 work truck when I retired and they had about 60K on them with good tread still left... For the money you can’t beat them...

I got some Hankook ATMs on my last truck and didn't care for them. They didn't last as advertised. New truck I went with Toyo Open Counties, not cheap at all but they are lasting as they should. But for close to $2000, I'd hope so.
 
Great to know Rich! I’m due but holding out as long as I can till end of the year.

Rick, keep an eye open for some sales/liquidation going on.... I bought my tires 4 months before I put them on.... I usually try to get the last bit of wear out of the old ones before swapping them out... Right before the first snow being projected....

It's Ric, attention to detail.

I put these on my truck as well. The MT's were too much for the amount of pavement vs mud it sees. I got the hybrid RT's and they're just what the doctor ordered. They killed the road noise, don't handle like shit in the rain/snow, and they come with a warranty. The price is the only con IMHO.
 
We have been seeing some trouble out of the Goodyear wranglers we have been getting. A lot of vibration and road force issues. The one guy in our shop had mounted and tried to balance 24 Goodyear tires before he got a good set of 4. Just a little FYI for everyone!
