Is Ford still putting Pirelli tires on the Lariats? I am pricing out my truck (2013 crew Lariat 6.5' bed) and it's coming with 275/65R18's...I seem to remember the Pirelli OEM having a shorter sidewall than that (not that 7" is huge to begin with). Now I am just wondering what it is coming with. My plan was to swap them out immediately after delivery of the vehicle if they were the Pirellis. I'm not into much aftermarket modification so it's more about branding and what I have been happy with riding on than oversize tires, leveling/lifts, etc. I want it to ride well and look nice and have a truck stance, not look like a limo/bridge.

 

You can't go by brand. Every manufacturer makes high end and low in products. I had never read a bad review on a Pirelli tire until they started putting those cheap, price point tires on the F-150's. If you want a quality tire on your new truck, plan on swapping whatever OEM tire is on it. You will never get more money for them than when you take delivery.
