none with them tires but check your Ford dealership for a price before you buy....I run 285/75-18 on my 05 truck they are Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac and I saved $400 by buying from Ford .....this size is also same width as factory but alittle taller

I have the 20" version on my Dodge 1500 4x4 for about 10K miles so far. This is my second set, first was on a Chevy Duramax and I heard they improved them for durability. So far I am pleased w/ this set. I have traction w/o a bunch of road noise, which at my age is a good thing. I can remember as a teenager wanting some co-op's since they sounded good coming down the road.

A few of my buddies run them and my brother has them on his Titan. I like them but I'll take my Mastercraft Courser A/Ts over them anyday.

Can I sayMickey Thompson MTZ's! 65k in highway miles on last set. Just got a second set with 10 k on them now. They pull real good, and are not that noisy on the highway. Nittos wear a little fast, and uneven, but that's most mud terrains if there not properly balanced rotated, and aligned regularly. I'm running them on a 3/4 ton diesel 4x4! Had a set of Michellin's from the factory that lasted 25k, then a set of BF good for nothing's MT's that lasted all of 20k in highway miles. Good luck

try kelly safari tsr's you'll never buy another tire. kind of like the good year duratrac they are a in between mud and all terrain. they still have a good aggressive look dont hum loud like mud tires and pull pretty damn in in mud. i got 62k out of my last set. ive had just about every mud tire on trucks and in my opinion mud tires arent worth it. if your mostly on the road and dont need mud tires on a weekly basis get a good all terrain. they last longer and dont cost as much as the mudders.

I've got a set of nitto 37" tires on my F250 diesel. Super quiet rolling down the highway at 80. Not much experience with them in the mud. Expect to get about 30k miles out of them.

I liked these since they had a tighter tread pattern down middle and more lug outside....hoping the design makes them last longer then full blown mud tires
