[QUOTE="bradyh20, post: 86329, member: 3014"] I hear ya MarkT. I can tell that Ford paid close attention to details with this truck. I'm also sure the tires mattered at some level. I guess it may be a while (if ever) till we understand exactly what drove the need for different tires. While we're speculating, though, my guess is braking and handling or impacts drove the change. With the softer suspension, Ford may have wanted a stiffer tire. The lateral G's on pavement are pretty low in this truck, and having a squishier tire would have made it even worse. The other explanation I could see is that the tires weren't holding up to the heavy hits they take at high speeds, thus the changes to thickness and belt angle. Oh well, solid truck either way...can't wait to take it out again. [/QUOTE]
