What tires for an XLT 4x4 w/Chrome package?
dealers will swap wheels and tires if someone is looking at unit that has everything they want but the want different wheels, we do it all the time. if you make the sale you do what you can.
but like its been said, if the window sticker which they should have given you say GY AT/S then that's what you should have and you need to go to them get what you paid for.
and for reference i put a rmst in a FX4 ext cab with chrome and 18" wheels today and it had GY AT/S tires on it.

No window sticker says the tire brand/model. For situations such as what CnA is experiencing, I have always been told by new dealer salespeople that swapping equipment between vehicles is not possible.
FWIW, that chrome package along with almost every other OEM chrome package is an outstandingly terrible value.

I paid only $420 for the chrome package which is about what I would have paid for a decent set of running boards. Seems like a deal to me.
I sent an e-mail to the dealer and he sent me the following text out of the Goodyear website:
Wrangler SR-A
An All-Season Tire With WetTrac Technology™¬ To Help Provide Confident Wet Traction, A Quiet Ride And All-Terrain Capability

So I guess "All-Terrain capability" makes them good. I don't think it is worth a fight as Wrangler tires of any type are not great. I plan to get my SR-A's siped and wear them out.
APT - I am not sure how you became an expert on what I paid for my truck and what I consider a good value, but it isn't helpful nor does it have anything to do with this thread.

Unfortunately, you guys all made the assumption that a P275/65-18 Goodyear Wrangler is the ATS. The ATS in that F150 size is only available in a LT in a C or E range tire.
Anyone here who bought a Heritage body style F150 may remember Ford gave us another fantastic (NOT) all terrain tire, the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. So, this is nothing new from our friends at Ford.
It's too bad Ford didn't choose the silent armour for the all terrain.

I also have an XLT and got the P275/65R18 Goodyear Wranglers. Lets face it they are not going to give us the best tire money can buy. I'll run mine for 20,000 or 30,000
miles then get what I consider the best money can buy.

Look at your window sticker. If it has a P before the 275 than you get the passenger rated Wrangler SR/A. If there is a LT before the 275 than you'll get the Wrangler AT/S. Just went threw this with my purchase.
I got the same with my 2011 but I traded them in for BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO 275/70R18 the day I bought the truck. I agree, the Wranglers are weak tires.
I got the same thing. Invoice says all-terrain tires and I got SRAs.
