The exchange program is generally 50-60% cheaper than brand new. Worth a try.
bah i just ordered a new one......... easier and ill have all my wheels again and not a spare

Ford charges $325 extra for the larger all-terrain tires, and I am extremely disappointed with their performance. I really don't understand why Ford would put a 4-ply passenger car tire on a 4x4 pick-up with a tow package.
The cracked wheel was shipped to an outfit in Minneapolis, MN that repairs bent or broken aluminum wheels. It should look like new when I get it back next week, and they quoted me $134.
I had a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor in 265/70/17 installed today. They are a load range E with 10 plys; the oil field guys and the sheriff vehicles around ****inson have had very good luck with this tire.
