I ask the shop folks their opinion of the tire swap and the Quote was "The Michelins are twice as good a tire as the Goodyears that come on the new 2000." I just ran 4 of the Michelin LTX for 50+ K miles on my 90 F250 most of those miles with a 9 1/2 foot camper on board. Also I concur with running the tires at max rated air pressure when loaded. Also higher pressures than the typical minimums when not loaded will increase mileage. I had very good success on my 90 F250 running the tires 80 pounds loaded and 55 pounds unloaded. No I am not a Michelin salesman. I am Game Warden with 22 years of backcountry road expierence. By the way I run Goodyears on the 96 Explorer.

Must be close to 60K if not 70K on them. While it's a much ligher vehicle, I'd agree they are a very good tire. Excellent road tire, but marginal off road. I also rotate regularly and monitor the air pressure. I am looking at going to BFG all terrains on the SD and the BroncoII for the next round though.

The body shop manager says there was a recall on this, and it doesn't matter if its under warranty or not. So its cool. I hope they do a good job and right now the managers getting the info on how to fix it, straight from the ford engineers. So I'll keep you guys posted onto what kind of solution they come up with..
