Is there a standard tire for the truck or each model?? Ive seen a few different tires on the same trucks,,whats with that. My dealer said he thinks my FX4 SCAB will have Michelins on the 18'rims...anyone??

 

Why is Ford putting 18" P275's on this truck instead of LT's. Isn't a P designation still a passenger car tire?????? Or am I misinformed???????

Easy....Money

 

P tire is standard on Lariat made by B. F. Goodrich L.T. is optional for more money and is required if you want skid plates

 

I got P's at "No Charge" on the FX4, and this truck comes standard with the Skid Plate.

 

P-rated tires have been on F-150's forever. In 99, they used an LT tire with the Off Road Package, then made the LT tires a stand alone option for 2000+ (including 2004) models. Like Perception said, easy money. Ford charges $300 for the upgrade tires. Do you really think it costs Ford an extra $300 for the difference between the two?

Besides, a lot of people don't even care what tires they have.
