Tires Pictures! (Help me choose new tires)

[OklahomaPE]

Hi Gents! I'm getting ready to put new tires on my 2020 F150 Platinum. I spend 95% of my time on road and so I plan on putting a set of All Season tires on as on-road performance is what is most important to me. I have historically run Michelin Defender LTX M/S in the past and they've never had a problem handling any of the snow or off-road that my trucks see.

I'm currently stuck on choosing between these 3-tires:

• Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 | 275/60R20 | Tire Rack
• Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT | 275/60R20 | Tire Rack
• Continental TerrainContact H/T | 275/60R20 | Tire Rack

I think they would all be excellent tires but I'm hoping to see some pictures of them mounted on F-150's to see which look the best. I plan on running 275/60/r20 on my new truck and that is why I'm posting here because that is the stock tire size on the Gen14. My truck is completely stock and is currently running 275/55/r20.

Can you guys that are running the above tires in 275/60/r20 please share some pics of your truck with the tires installed? Also, if any of you have a highly rated All-Season in the same size that you love, please share those pics too!

Thank you all so much for the help. Here are some pics of my truck for reference.

I don't have any suggestions for tires, as I haven't replaced my own originals.

But, I did want to say those Platinum rims are probably my favorite Ford OEM rims of the last decade plus. You have a very nice looking truck.

Thank you sir. I like the wheels as well.

I would go with the Michelin or the Continental, but the Continental would be my first choice.

Continentals are great. Also take a look at the Firestone LE3. Those are the best on road imo for the $.

you basically answered your own question.. lol

I am following this as I am on the fence between the Michelins and Conti’s as well.
same setup on my ’23 KR.

I just replaced my factory 20’s with the Michelin LTX M/S2 tires. I have about 500 miles towing on them and they are hands down a more planted feel.

I'm in the same boat. Its almost time to replace the OEM Hankooks on my 2022, and I wont lie I am not going to be sad to see them go.

I drive 99% on pavement, maybe one or two places a year where an AT could come in handy.

I know the defenders are the correct choice, but there is a part of me that wants to change it up and put something like the Continental TerrainContact A/T's on.

I dont need an AT, and its stupid to give up the ride quality and tread life of the defenders for the 1% of the time I am not on asphalt...but would the truck look better with an AT? Hell yes it would....

man, this is exactly what I have been pondering!! I have an old Land Rover I should be going “off road” so my 150 is a pavement princess, but I sure like the look of a more aggressive tire.

but I will probably go with the Defenders. to be honest tho, I dont hate the Pirellis on my truck. they have been a great road tire for 20,000 miles.

I've installed a ton of Continental TerrainContact A/T tires on various customer vehicles. After comparing them to several other tires on different vehicles, I bought TerrainContact A/T tires for my truck. The H/T version is the better choice for 99% highway driving, but the A/T version looks a lot better

I had almost justified the Conti AT's....until Costco started including 5 year road hazard for free. Road Hazard at discount tire is $225 so a huge cost savings at Costco. Only problem...Costco doesnt sell Conti, they do sell the defenders.

Hard to justify spending more for Conti's when its really just for looks and the defenders are arguably a better all around tire for what I need.

But would the truck look better with an AT? Hell yes it would lol

Unfortunately I do not. They are all black, no white walls, no white lettering, and not some “aggressive off-road” poser stance since I do not, in fact go off-roading more feel the need to look like I do. . I may be able to snap some pics tomorrow though, since it’s totally dark outside now.
