So I've put a few miles on the 2016 F150 this year traveling to help mom. With a truck that comes equipped with a selectable rear locker and winter approaching (first real snow due Monday here on front range) I started looking for a better replacement.
I've been getting over 20 mpg on the highway when I drive reasonable and am trying to not affect that much. Heavy loads are hauled on a trailer so a heavy load rate tire is just not necessary. My neighbor run cooper SST's on his tundra & has been happy.
I stopped in the local discount tire today and had them quote me bfg all terrain as well as duratracs. A reminder I do like the duratracs as I have them on the Jeep but did have to replace one when I completely gutted the side wall. Thin side walls are one drawback to them. I then asked the sales guy if he had anything else he would recommend? He put me on to the Cooper ATP as they were a good $20 to $45 per tire less and had a 55k warranty with them. They also are currently offering a $70 rebate on a set of 4 for this model.
So after some more research this last evening & on the recommendation of my neighbor I ordered a set from discounttiredirect.com with free shipping and they do not collect sales tax so they must not have a retail or warehouse operation here in CO. Delivered I paid $732.00 minus the $70 rebate I'll have new rubber on the truck for $166 a corner plus mount and balance. I might add they are also made here in the USA.
With over a quarter tread left on stock units I should be able to recoup some money from stock skins on CL here shortly, we have a winter tire law that requires 1/4" deeper tread or more and if not you can be fined.
Here's a link to the new skins.
