Should be a no brainer right, just go to your trusty tire store and get new tires. Let the saga begin....
I like to research a bit before spending a few grand, 6 F450 tires are going to cost a bit. My 2019 F450 came with Continental HD3 tires. I had mega issues with them cupping until they where rebalanced and the front end aligned, then they smoothed out and with frequent rotation have been doing well. I just rolled over 60k on the F450 and the tires still have some tread on them, but, I am at my winter home, a ski resort. That means snow and ice, and I would like a little better traction, I was kind of sliding a little coming over the pass last night.
I also prefer to buy American made products. I have used Michelin LTX's on my Chevy's for many years and have years and have been happy with them. But they are not made in a 19.5. When I got my new Goodyear G614's put on the MO the truck tire store I was at (in Denver) recommended Goodyear G622's. Cooper makes a tire also, Discoverer AT3 4S.
So lots of review reading; The Michelin XDS came out on top as the best pick, the Goodyear G622's appeared to be a little noisy, and I couldn't find much on the Cooper Discover AT3 4S. I have called 4 different tires stores here in the Salt Lake area and nobody can get the Michelin XDS. The Goodyear web page says that the G622's are not available. There are a bunch of other brands available. But I am a tire snob and lean towards keeping my money spent locally, as much as possible. I can get Hankook DH35's tomorrow.
So I would love to hear about others who have F450 and what tires they are running and how they like them. Snow traction is important to me, but I don't want tires that sill sing to me all summer long. I'm 90% highway, 5% dirt, and 5% snow.
