Yes, that is your problem... those tires are blah.

Mine are already bald at 11k.

By any chance... can you do me a quick favor?

Since those tires are obviously 235/75R/17... can you check the VIN sticker and the passenger/loading capacity sticker on your truck quick and report back and see if they differ from the tires you got on now?

See if you got the wrong tires like I did.

my tires are 255/65/17 says the tire. but yeah i hate these tires but i dont want to shell out over 700 hundred dollars for new tires

 

Interesting... I didn't realize that Ford had different sets of Hankooks.

I give up on what Ford does when producing trucks. It's stupid what they stick the people with. No wonder my dealer was happy to give me my money back.... probably turned around and got the joy of harassing Ford.

 

me i think when i bought the truck from carmax they like put new tires on the truck. thats why im trying to get a hold of carmax and have them atleast replace the faulty tire.....since they put the **** thing on there. everyday to work i get to whobble down the road, ford just put the bad tire in the back and said i should look to replacing it, but i really dont want these ***** tires

 

How long ago did you purchase the truck from Carmax? How many miles are on it?

 

November bought it with 18K now 21500K

 

Interesting...

How does the tread look on the tires?

I do not understand why Ford puts bad tires on these trucks. When I got my '99, it had Goodyear Conquests... and they lasted like 80k. They had no issues at all. They always had excellent grip up until they started to expire at about 75k. Which is very good for stock tires, on a work truck. Then again, they were 'E' rated tires. So that might have had something to do with it.

But the NBS trucks lately have had junk for tires. It's a shame that Ford puts them on there, because it makes the truck ride like a piece of junk, not to mention it winds up costing the purchaser more money in the initial owning period.

Bulldog, I'd recommend going to Wal*Mart or some cheap, discount tire center, and buy a new set of *decent* tires... I'd recommend BFGoodrich or Michelin... even if you have to get highway tires, until you get enough money to fork out on some nice tires.

 

i need Alterrains cuz my family owns a ranch and i drive in mud and pastures, thats my problem becuase for alt's its more $$$, my buddy told me to go buckshots by maxis but that would look weird on a 2WD

 

So... at least it will get out of a sticky situation without a tractor.

I plan on getting some pretty knobby tires for my truck... and I want it for use... I could care less how it rides... as long as I get grip, thats all that matters.

 

x2 i found some good year wrangler AT's ima go bigger with 265/70/17's i will probly do that tommorow. no bull guard with lights for me now

 

Ya... I think getting tires is a better move than a bull guard with lights. Trust me... you've got plenty of time for that later.

I'd find new tires ASAP. I'm still stuck on kind I want on mine... It's so hard to decide...

 

900 for new tires out the door im thinking about replacing 2 including the faulty one and then 2 more later.

 

You could do the 2 tire thing... I'd recommend putting the 2 new ones on the rear and drive *easy* so they don't wear much.

Then get the other 2, take off the 2 rear new ones, and put them on, and put the same amount of mileage you did on the first new set.

After they reach the same mileage on both sets, then put all the new ones on.

But if you only plan to run the 2 new ones for like 1000 or 2000 miles... I wouldn't worry about it. You'd never know the difference.

 

yeah they wanted to sell me highway tires for cheap, but i def. want AT's and need them when deer season comes around. but hey thanks for info

 

I think im going to go wash up the truck and find a place to take some pics
