The Continental did have much better reviews than the General. But only a few people said that got better gas mileage and thats just not conclusive. But the tire in all other aspects seems to be great. I did read some F-150 reviews on there you can select the vehicle you want to read about after your in the reviews section.

 

There it is! You didn't mention that before. Every single thing I've said has been regarding fuel economy because that's the only thing you ever mentioned. Now you wanting to do this makes a lot more sense.

For what it's worth, my 305/40/22 Yokohoma Parada Spec Xs ($198 each) had almost 40k miles on them (a little over 10k from me) when I sold them and the wheels and I spun them a LOT. The stock Pirelli's are sh*tty tires, and Continentals aren't much better (Generals are even worse) from everything I've read and heard about them recently. Tread wear ratings mean very little because they're specific and entirely relative to each manufacturer. Cheap tires wear faster. Lighter tires with less sidewall strength/plys wear faster. Your truck is also average well under half of the 15k mile per year average too, so it'll take longer to pay for any changes.
