    Tires for a 2016 F-150

    The truck came with 17-inch Michelin tires and I am looking to replace. I priced a set of Michelins and it was close to $1000. Would like to save a few bucks.

    Any recommendations on a quiet street tire for the truck. I am on the road quite a bit and tow my bass boat occasionally for under 1-hour trips.

    Hard to beat the Michelin's. But Coopers are ok too. Not going to save you alot of money though.

    I gotta say, I’m loving my coopers. And the price was $300 less than the equivalent halfway decent tire. $500 less than Michelin’s. And rate for 65k miles. 5k in and they still look brand new. Truck handles amazing now.

    Michelin AT2 is the best truck tire made.

    Wow! We can buy 17" Michelin LTX's for under $1000, and that's in Canada.

    Cooper AT3 is a great tire. I've had great luck with them.

    I tried the Michelin LTX tires on my 2011 Ram and didn't like the handling of them; took them back and replaced with Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas and the difference was night and day. Have ran them on my 2013 Ram as well and considering possibly ordering a 2019 Ram and if so, I'll be putting Bridgestones on it as well.

    Cooper for tire needs here. If you are burning through a set every two or three years I would put a heavy emphasis on wear rating. Maybe some of the commercial duty fleet tires would be a good choice.

    Same here--6K on them and they still look like the day I put them on--great ride and very low road noise

    My 2014 GMC came with Bridgestone Dueler A/T's; very good handling and traction, but only lasted 30k miles.
    I've got Michelins on now.

    Michelin LTX Defenders. Period. Shop around a little. Sams has some of the best prices around here.
