Almost time for new shoes for my F150 Super Crew 4wd. I’d like something with some off road ability and still quiet on the road. A unicorn for sure.
Thinking of Bridgestone AT Revo 3, Faulken AT3W, Firestone Destination, Goodyear something? Open to your informed suggestions.
Tirerack has been my "informed suggestion" start-point for ages.
The user reviews once you think you have your "shortlist" of possible winners.
The best ones CHANGE over a period of years as they compete. So do I.
Look for long mile experience
as close to your own as you can find.
What some housewife hauling peat-moss or grocery shopping likes for low-noise on clean, no road-hazard surfaces won't be much use but for the count and dollars spent where tire sidewall and carcass get ruint before they wear much tread off atall.
You want "quiet" over "affordable", best get some secondary set of wheels for Sunday go to meetin', then.
Cheaper than a one-size-fits all NOT ... "Unicorn."
BTW.. decent 4WD also means you have less NEED of any sort of "scare the bikers" eat-em-up dig deeper holes FASTER uber-
cleats!
"Finesse", skill, and 4WD can do fine with a smoother, quieter tread. Farmers had done it for generations of rolling OVER shitty surfaces instead of digging for bedrock before the "cleat-class" were first molded to swing-dick harder and messier!
Gets better GRIP? Yah. But on WHAT? The top layer of semi-liquid s**t?
What attaches that s**t to the NEXT layer, below it? Well.. just fling it away, dig down and see?
But it is still a Ford 150.
Not an all-aluminium Ford-vintage Jaguar!
Speaking of "Sunday go to meetin'" wheels!
