20 inch tires for an F150
Truck came with Pirelli Scorpions, truck now was 21K miles and I ran over a file (wrecking one tire, others are thin). I want to put Michelin LTX's on it since I have had great luck with them.
Anyone change the factory tire size (a size or two bigger)? Anything better than the LTX? Truck is 2WD, Crew Cab and is S Florida only.

Running Cooper Zeon LTZ's in 275/60/20 (33" vs. 32" stock). Love the tires but probably a bit aggressive for a 2WD truck in Florida if you never get off the asphalt. Dealer reprogrammed the computer for the taller tires. Speedo is dead on. This is with a 2" TGC level kit in front and 3" blocks in the rear.
I'd go with the Michelin LTX MS in Florida. Great tires. Wear forever. Had them on a '99 Z-71.

thanks Mark and Knot.....I remember you guys talking about tires but couldn't exactly remember the outcome. Knot you were 100% right, Pirellis were junk and simply didn't last despite one getting shredded by a file!
LTX's 275/60/20 it will be!

Check your (3) 21K mile Pirelli's for sidewalls cracking.
If they are, maybe you can get them prorated?
Using quick TireRack.com math:
$212/each new x 3 good ones is $636
21K miles out of a 65K tread life tire is about 1/3 of use
2/3 of $646 = $412
Can't hurt to ask...
