Tires IRONMAN or OEM FORD

My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.

Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.

I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.

I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.

Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.

Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.

I did it last winter (edit I may have had 245/60/r18, so taller tire but not wider). They fit, but you definitely cant go any bigger. Minimal clearance of shocks on the front wheels plenty of space at the back. Probably threw off the speedometer a bit, did slightly raise the vehicle.

Another vote for Ironmans. Used to run them on my foxbody until I wanted more grip

These tires are too tall. There's a headlight bracket that doesn't touch normally, but if you're turning and the suspension compresses, whether from a bump or cornering, then you will get these gashes in the shoulder of your tire.

I can confirm. Do not sign up! I purchased a brand new truck 5 years ago,, the dealer has done all services, brakes, new tires, etc. Everything should have been perfectly maintained. I live in the mountains. I have a 5 mile dirt road to my farm. Ford install one size larger tire than what came originally on the truck. Unfortunately the mountain road can get rough in winter. This I believe caused a bolt to fail on the axle.
