Goodyear Tire Replacement Time

I have a 2018 F150 with the original Goodyear Wrangler M+S 275/55R20 113T. The tires have 54,000 miles on them. Is this same tire available or has it been replaced with a different type?
Also, what does "113T" mean?
Any recommendations?

113T is the load rating of the tire. 113 has a max load of 2535 lbs.

113T is the load range and speed rating for the tire. 113 would fall into the P or passenger category. Any tire with a similar rating would do. Since 2021 Ford replaced the 275/55/R20 with 275/60R20. It's slightly taller which results in a better ride and less cold weather flat spotting and curb damage potential that the 55 series tires were prone to.

There are many quality tires out there in both of those sizes. In my opinion you can do better than Goodyear, which I have always found to be prone to getting flats from even the smallest pieces of sharp rock or glass.

My buddy went with the 275/60/20 - he's off road a bunch so wanted something tougher. Besides ride and better rim protection, they look a lot better to boot! As far as brand, I've been putting Coopers on just about everything truck or jeep lately - very happy with them... Depending on your traction needs the AT3 is a nice AT tire...

I don't do any off-roading, all highway but have to deal with New England winters. I was reading the reviews for the Cooper AT3 and there is a noticeable increase in road noise due to the aggressive tread pattern. This is due to it being a designed off-road tire. I'm looking for something that's less aggressive. The newer Goodyears have really bad reviews. The set I have are the originals from when I purchased the truck in 2018 with no issues.

They will have a higher load rating than what you've been running and are more of an All Season tread pattern. We put a set on our Expedition (different size) and were quite pleased with them. We ended up selling the Expy when we bought the F150, but we did go through rain and snow with the tires and they were just fine in all conditions and Silent

...

Good luck!

And yes, the road noise and gravel/rock throwing is terrible with the AT3.
