Almost time for new tires, what are you planning on getting after the stock tires wear out?

Thought I would revive this thread. At 45K, my OEM Hankooks were down to around 4/32”. I could have honestly squeezed out another 6-8K miles out of them if it were city driving BUT, when on the highway they kinda feel like driving on ice if its raining.

The vanity in me wanted wither the Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent or Toyo Open Country III EV. Being that I have always installed Michelin Defenders on all my trucks, I went ahead with the Defenders as well this time. My driving is 95% highway and the little offroading that I do (gravel), the Defenders will be fine. Plus, the Defenders are king when it comes to wet weather which is my main concern when selecting a tire.

I got the 116H version installed at DT, and they ride like butter. Less noise than the OEM Hankooks and no range loss; dare I say a slight increase in mi/kwh? They aren’t the best looking tire but will render the most life out of any tire on the market and I know they will keep me safe for years to come.

this is my third set of tires. I told myself “to hell with efficiency”

I just crossed 30k miles and my rear tires are about done. They were originally on the fronts and I waited to late to rotate them to the back. I have the Hankook Dynopro AT2s that came stock on the Lariat 20 inch rims. I am actually thinking about going with the other stock option which is the General Grabber HTS 60 thinking I may pick up some range. The Hankooks are 41lbs and the Generals are 34lbs. Both my local ford dealers had no clue on EV specific truck tires and wanted to quote me on more aggressive truck tires that they put on ICE F150s. But most of those weight in the upper to mid 40lb range. So, what's everyone's opinion on tires to replace worn our stockers with? I want something that performs well, I do see my fair share of tractor paths around the farmland around here but nothing to crazy. I may do some beach sand driving once or twice a year. But I need the range to actually get to the beach first. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

If I still have this truck when it needs tires, it WILL NOT be getting another set of flimsy 116T load index tires. I'll probably go with a quality all-terrain, something in the LT-D or LT-E ballpark.

And I still think the "EV" stamp on tires is a marketing trick. With tire weights in the 44 lb. range and 4-ply ratings, there is no way they can be built any stronger than other "P" rated truck tires.

Not about strength, it's about rolling resistance and noise. Not worth the extra they charge for claiming an "EV tire" if you ask me.
