I can give a good
for these tires. I got 4, 265/60/18 114T 460AB XL, from a local mechanic for $500, all fees included, mounting, balancing, valve stems, disposal, etc. I wanted to use 285/60/18 but leave it to Ford to be the only company in the business to use a 18"X7.5" wheel. That leaves exactly 4 OEM sizes that can be safely mounted on these wheels.
These tires handle 10X better than the stock tires. They look great. They have a good tread wear rating. They handle rain just fine. The only variable left is how they will work in the snow. When I was growing up, one of my father's friends was a mechanic/Cooper dealer. All the cars in my family had Cooper on them so I had no problem giving their truck tires a try.
I got 50K out of the lousy BFG Long Trail. I really shouldn't say lousy but I really can't say anything good about them other than they lasted for 50K. They were adequate, nothing more, nothing less. BFG's website says outstanding rain & snow traction. Not so much. They were adequate in the rain & terrible in the snow. Toward the end, they were down right dangerous to drive on wet pavement.
