New tires
Ok i got really tired of my A/T tires they wonder on the road to much for me even when I'm not towing so I ordered some Michelin defenders from costco you can't beat the price and they give you a 5 year warranty and free mounting too

One of the things the dealer did to prep the 2019 F-350 I bought was put a set of 6 Falken Rubitrek A/T LT245/75R17 E/10PLY tires on it and do an all wheel alignment. This is a more aggressive tread than I like but they look impressive. At highway speeds this truck was miserable to drive. I had to saw the wheel to keep it straight. Constant small corrections. I brought the truck to the tire shop the dealer used and had them check the alignment and it was good. I've never have this problem on any other vehicles including my K3500 CCLB DRW with LT225/75R16 highway rib tires kept at 75 psi.
The simple solution was lower the cold pressure on the fronts from 75 to 60 and leave the rears at the specified 65 psi cold.

I had Michelin and liked them. A buddy talked me into to Falken Wildpeak AT4 and although I had to take them to an off road and custom tire shop to get them balanced, I do like them except the wandering, like you mentioned. My next option is to put a front stabilizer in place to hopefully keep wandering from happening. I’m not in a position to get rid of $2000 tires to turn around and buy Michelins again.

Still on m first set/try of Falken AT3W for my F350 in the sig. Rotate/balance at Discount "T" every 5k and recently showing little wear after 15k miles. Truck is my DD and running 58psi front / 48 psi rear - no wandering and a 3+ year old Bilstein stabilizer in stock position.
