Type of Tires on your 2009 with 20" rims

Do all 2009's with 20" rims come with Pirelli tires?

Good question actually - there are two 20" Pirelli tires listed in the brochure...same size but one is a summer tire and the other is listed as an All Terrain tire...I thought perhaps the All Terrain came on the 4x4's and the summer tire came on the two wheel drive?

About 4 mos ago I purchased 20" brand new take off wheels/tires from an 08 F-150 with no miles on them. They ride firmer and handle better than my 18" wheels/tires that were stock on the Lariat 4x4 when I purchsed it...but they do develop flat spots and are rough riding the first several miles until they warm up...anyone else notice this with your 20" Pirelli's

Good question, if there are 2 choices I hope the 4x4's come with the all-terrain. Perhaps someone here who already has one can let us know.

Deano, were those 20's you had stock? BFG's you replaced them with also 20's? Didn't think BFG's were in a 20 that's why Ford used Pirelli's? I could look to see what FX4 has stock but headed to work now.

I had them switch out the 20" rims for the stock 18" cuz the 20" BFGs are around $350 each I think.

Tire load range

Deano, What load range are the Goodrich. Maybe these tires will allow more weight (payload), unless the 20" wheel is the weak point. Nice Ride, and like the tires on it. Good Luck!

Another good option if you want an LT 20" is the LT285/55R20 Toyo Open Country A/T. IF I go w/20s on my 2010(or whenever teh new engines are available) thats what I will go with.
