The point of this post is take a look at your factory tires. I am also extremely impressed with the dealer / Ford on this. My truck is 14 months old, has 30,000 KM and they are replacing them all 100% free of charge. At most, I expected the tire replacement to be prorated. (avg 7/32 tread left on them)
Maybe this has something to do with Ford's past tire issues? Who knows... I'm happy!

I ended up getting another set of BF Goodrich's. I got the All Terrain TA's as I wanted an LT tire.
The Rugged Trails might not have been a bad tire but I think these trucks are just too heavy for them. Yes, I know Ford obviously would have done the math and the tires would have sufficient weight rating for the truck but I think is a P rated tire is a little too light for this truck especially when towing / hauling on a regular basis. The thing is just damn heavy!

BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A Tire issues
I am having the same issue. All four BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires have many small cracks along base of tread and all throughout tread. Went to the dealership today and they said they are not covered because the cracks are due to weathering. I have an '08 F150 with 7 months and 30 000 Kms left on the total warranty. Guess the "Total warranty" might not be as total as I thought. I should not have to replace the tires after only 32 000 kms! very frustrating. Doesn't help that the manager on duty was on his way out 20 minutes early and couldn't stick around to talk to me. Not too sure if he even really looked into any potential issues with these tires.
