Chalkie Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Since the F150 is capable of flat tow I will presume you are going to flat tow. Tn this case whatever is going to give you the longest tire life as the wear on the tires will be the same as driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I towed a Ranger and then 2 different CR-V's and I just used the same tires that I would select if it was never towed. The driven mileage on most towed vehicles far exceeds the miles towed. I never noticed any significant difference in wear patters or tire life mileage from not beting towed at all. I did keep them inflated properly and had them rotated and balanced as recommended. Edited November 7, 2022 by Kirk W Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Ray,IN Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 FWIW I tow a Chevy Silverado 4x4 and have gotten great wear from Firestone Destination tires. As of this month the tires have approx. 40K miles on them, about half is from flat towing, I suspect they will be worn down to the wear indicators next summer.
