Michelin Defender LTX Platinum - 70,000 mile warranty.

 

i don't know what pressure they are at they take care of that when I get my oil changed I

 

Roger that - any time I get on wet grass, it's 4x4 time

 

If your always on road the Michelin Defender's are nice for towing but from personal experience as soon as you are on anything other than pavement they are bad towing or not towing.

 

ok but these tire are a year old I have had this trouble ever since I got them i just really got tired of them this trip

 

Oh my goodness, YOU should monitor and be aware of your tire pressures. Your truck knows and so should you. If your truck does not have the info available on your dash, then invest in a guage for a buck or two. If the oil change place follows the placard on your door jam, then that is what they should be set at. FYI: F-250 is 60/60, F-350 is 60/80

Too little psi or too high psi can cause poor steering response or wander. Also, wander occurs when the front end is unloaded due to improper loading or overloading. Finally, being out of alignment can cause wander and towing can amplify the effects. I've had poor quality tires that had poor steering response and braking.

I've not seen a FORD dealer that offers much more than an All Terrain AT tire. Aggressive off road tires would be a special order for a specific off the road need.

 

Your truck SHOULD have a screen in the dash that lets you check what pressures your TPMS is reporting - its accuracy can be questionable but it should at least be a rough guess.

One should ALWAYS carry a tire gauge in the glove box. I have one in EVERY vehicle we own. I've stuck with Milton, which is pricier but tend to be more accurate and robust, but even a cheap one from a gas station or dollar store is better than nothing. It's good to check them weekly, at minimum monthly, and ALWAYS before towing.

A good point was brought up above - what's your weight distribution like? Is the weight fairly evenly distributed or is it primarily on the front of the trailer? If it's mostly on the front, there's a good chance you're unloading your front axle too much which will cause handling issues. Given that you're a '17 with 1 yr old tires, it's also possible you need a front end alignment but that depends on maintenance and the roads you travel as to how beat up things get - I've gone YEARS without an alignment on some vehicles (maybe a quick check now and again but no adjustments) while others needed an alignment every year as things wore out and got replaced.

All that said, it very well could be your tires - not all tires are created equal and some just SUCK, period. For instance, the tires that came stock on my FIL's '23 F250 with the Black package seemed to be okay tires, until he crossed a bridge with grating for a surface - he ended up fighting the truck the whole way across. He immediately went to a different tire and hasn't had the issue since.

 

I guess I'm a idiot yes the air pressure is low but as for the aggressive tire it's agessive to me going from a street tire to this one i have never liked

 

I guess I'm a idiot yes the air pressure is low but as for the aggressive tire it's agessive to me going from a street tire to this one i have never liked it will go get some more air in it today I had just got my oil changed too it all comes back to me I will take the blame on this thanks all

 

ok I have put air in them all I'm sure this will help the tires a fallen at and like I said I have never likes these from the start Ford put then on without telling me I think it's a big difference between a street tire and a At Tire it has always had a little pull to either side of the road so I'm going to get the Michelin Defender for now thanks all like I said it was my fault not checking the air pressure I'm a idiot for asking for help and bothering all you nice people thanks to all who have commented on my post

 

I am really happy with the Nitto Terra Grappler G3's that replaced the OEM POS's at 15K miles. 295/65R20's
.

 

In my decades of driving I would say Michelin- can't go wrong(although my experience is with SUV tires), Large truck tires(35 inch)-Goodyear Duratrac- 20% chance they can't be balanced, Nitto EXO grapplers- excellent, Nitto Recon grapplers - relatively new so wear is unknown, but after a few thousand miles no balance issues or air loss, so positive so far. Falken AT3- no issues. Continental- STAY AWAY. These are my personal experiences, yours may differ.

 

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2, this is the tire that sets the standard

 

My Mich ltx were worthless dry street tires only.

Cooper M&S or RT, Kenda At2. Would be my pick. I run agressive Kenda RT's now. Never going back to ungrippy tires for the sake of noise or whatever.

There may be something else wrong with your truck.
