Ford parts reviews

I have been using this specific tire below for almost 20 years. Had my 2006 for 11 years and now my 2017. They have great wet road handling. Excellent tread wear. I get about 70K miles a set. Not sure what your price range is but don't skimp on tires, especially on a truck. You want that wet road grip.

early I loved the AT2's I had on my F150 they did great in Mud, Snow and Ice.

I currently have Firestone LE3's on my 14 Explorer. They have a little over 26k miles on them. 255/50/20's for $930 mounted/balanced back in 2021. Overall pretty good tires, especially for the money. Smooth, good traction in the dry/wet and pretty good in the snow. They did seem to get louder fairly quickly, but I don't think they've really gotten any worse over the last 15k miles. Wet roads seem to exacerbate the noise. Last time I looked at them (few k miles ago), they were wearing really well. I can't say I'd buy them again yet, but if they get us another 26k miles without getting significantly louder, they (or their successor) would be on the list. In the past I had OE Hankooks (good dry/wet, excellent life, absolutely terrible in the snow) and Michelin Premier LTX (good in all conditions, short life, overpriced for what they were).

I can't speak to the defenders here but the Falken I have had 2 sets on my F150 I live in East Central Alberta so we can alot of snow and Ice and I loved the Falkens on Snow, Gravel, in the fields and the highway.

So far, I’ve only driven about 30 miles on them, but my efficiency isn’t showing any change.

I’m lowered 1.5 inches and I have KYB foxbody struts, cost me $130 for all four and it rides great

I personally like the Cooper AT3 XLT. Aggressive tread but quiet and very stable on pavement. Great wet traction.

I burned through 2 sets of tires this same way! Was going about 70 on he fwy one morning and a large strip decided it had enough. was flopping around the wheel well and was super loud.

I’ve had a Motorcraft thermostat fail after 100mi on my Ford

I got new OEM Ford Beam Wiper Blades (they’re crap for nearly $80), and they just make it even worse with the skipping and squeaking out of the box.
