new from Wisconsin
 
whats up everyone, my name is David and I just bought this fully loaded 2010 King Ranch, 5.4 with just under 30k on it. it comes home on monday.

I'm 20 years old and a Ford tech but I'm moving to Montana soon and have no idea what's in store for me out there just yet.

I'm sure it will end up with intake/exhaust and retrofitted headlights but first thing is some new 275/55R20 rubber, so if anyone can suggest a nice quiet A/T tire that will last a while, I'm all ears.

Welcome fella. Nice truck!

Ford Tech eh? That's handy.

Where in Montana are you moving too? I live just an hour over the border near Fernie.

I'm headed for Missoula, to be honest I haven't even been there yet so I'm not familiar with the area at all lol. my family is going and I have nothing really holding me down here, so I decided it would be fun to pack up all of my **** and move across the country at a moment's notice.

Hello David.:wave:
This truck will make the move easy. Looks to be in great shape from here.
Had the 5.4L in my 2010 and had no complaints with it.
I prefer Firestone's over any other brand, based on past experience with all kinds of brands. This will be my replacements when it's time.

thanks!

the Destination A/T is no doubt a popular tire, it's the top ranked in my size on Tirerack and I see them all the time at my work but being a Ford dealership we don't deal with Firestone because of that whole exploding thing from several years back. lol. I think I may give them a shot though, they're also really reasonably priced.

I ordered 2 sets of firestone winter tires from my ford dealer. He brings in any tire i want.
I had those firestones from that recall which i had no problem with at all.....ford replaced them for free with michelins. I can honestly say , that i hated the michelins and wished i had not taken advantage of the free replacement tires.
I'd go with firestones in a heartbeat, regardless of what anybody says.

I think I will. thanks for the input.
and yeah we can order any tire here, but we don't advertise any sales promotions or anything like that for Firestone.

I just put a set of LX-20 Continentals on my 2009 F-150. I really like them.

are they any good in the snow? they look like a highway/touring style, not very aggressive
