As I'm researching this more, I'm seeing the "replace all 4" is primarily for AWD vehicles and doesn't apply to the Lightning (unless they are all worn).

Ford's recommendation is to replace two tires, and put the new ones on the rear axle.




Thank you
Today is turning out to be an expensive day.

Last night got a notification from the Ford App that one of my tires had low pressure. Went down and looked for the issue (didn't see anything) and used the pump to pump it back up; it was about 15lbs down.

Went to the shop today to have them check it and plug it. Turns out it's the same tire that they plugged a couple months ago (nail from the dropoff area of the local Goodwill shop -- no good deed goes unpunished!).

They plugged it but said it's too close to the sidewall to be permanent. It's in between the first and second tread if I recall correctly.

He's telling me I need to replace all 4 tires. So, looking for recommendations. I've seen a number of posts here, so I'm using search to try and find the old(er) threads but figured I'd start a thread to get some additional input.

Current/original tires: Good Year Wrangler Territory HT 275/60R20 - 116T (?)
Treadwear: 680
Traction: A
Temperature: B

Even more painful is that the truck doesn't even have 13K miles on it yet.

Right after I got this news, I got an email from the electric company, and they want their monthly blood payment. lol.

Waiting for the third shoe to drop!
I went with Toyo Open Country A/T lll EV tire. 275/60R20. I have driven them about 10K on my 23 Lariet. I highly recommend these.

I have LT275/65/20 Toyo EV tires...before that I got 80K miles on my KO2's. Upgrading to an heavier ply tire I never had a puncture running light truck tires but in a span of 6 months I had 3 punctures running the stock general grabbers that came with the truck.

I'd have used the excuse to "upper management" that unfortunately I had no option but to replace all four tires and would jump so fast on a set of the Michelin Defender M/S rubber and call it a day.
