Got mine installed this morning. 275/65/20. Only driven a few miles so far so can’t comment on efficiency. My truck does have a 1.5” level if anyone is wondering. Love the look and they feel great. Haven’t taken it on the highway yet but around town they are very quiet. Excited to get them in the sand and see how they do off-road. My stock Goodyear wrangler territory ht’s were useless off-road.

I want to bump this thread to see if anyone who got these tires can report back more on them. My oem tires are done and had the shop throw them out when I put my winters on. Trying to pre plan for my spring swap

I think I have around 4,500 miles on mine. Really happy with them so far. Tires still look mostly new. I find them very quiet all around. Maybe a very light hum at highway speed but nothing like typical aggressive all terrain or mud tires. Offroad they are more than good enough for my needs. Have not had them in the snow yet (been a warm wet winter in the local mountains) but they are great in the rain. Mine are 275/65r20 so about an inch larger than stock. I did adjust the speedometer on forscan to compensate. I have been averaging 2.4 miles per kWh since I put them on. Previously I was getting 2.5 miles per kWh on stock tires so a small decrease. My efficiency may appear high to many of you but mild southern California winters, lots of traffic, and a relatively light foot will do that. My only complaint with the tires is the price. These suckers are expensive. I was lucky enough to find a 20% off coupon on goodyear's website which made the purchase much more manageable. If I were to do it again I would put these up against the very popular Toyo Open Country AT3 EV and just get whichever is cheaper.

Appreciate this. I'm trying to decide whether I want the more aggressive tires that I do like the look of and would give me some better traction when we get some rainy days here in Minnesota because I already have a set of dedicated winters for the occasional "soft roading." Or go with the Hankook Ion HT

Love the look of your truck. I live in Orange County as well and want to do this exact set up (same tires and color too!). Curious to know where you got the lift installed as I want to go somewhere with experience with Lightnings? I’ve been looking at a 2” leveling kit, do you find the tires rub at all with the 1.5”?
Appreciate any help you can give!

I currently run the Toyo AT3 EVs. They are pretty noisy.

I run them at the 42psi factory pressure and after about 5 minutes they are at 46psi from the friction. This is normal.

I asked ChatGPT what were the quietest all terrain tires to replace the Goodyear MTs (factory) on my '24 Bronco and it said that the quietest tire (315/70) was a Continental and the second quietest were the Falken Wildpeak AT4. I went with the Falkens...and the cabin noise was impressively reduced. And when I wear the Toyos out on my Lightning, I'll be putting these on instead (there are two different weight rated versions of this tire, this is the heavier version):

Hey Kyle,

I like your style! The tires clear easily. I’ve seen some guys with the stock height clear this size tire. Unfortunately for you I installed the lift myself in my driveway and drove it to the local dealer for an alignment. So I don’t have any good recommendations. The good news is that the front end is identical to the ice truck so being familiar with the lightning is not required for the install.

There are many threads on tires. The OEM tires are inferior to tires like Michelin Defenders. Most OEM tires are inferior.

I thought I was doing well with my OEM tires but at 24,000 miles I am starting to notice wear, in particular towards the outside of the tire and I am getting close to the wear bars. I try to run at 38-40 PSI with the empty truck, a little above the recommended 36 PSI so I was expecting the center of the tire to wear faster.
At least half of my driving is Highway at 70-80 mph with quite a bit at 50 on local roads. I think I drive gently, though the truck wants to be a sporty Mustang.
