I would like some AT's but I didn't see any on any of the trucks that were at the dealership where I bought mine. I need something that does okay in the mud. The roads to my hunting land can get really slick and if you slide into a bar ditch your truck may be there for a week. I may call my salesman and see what he says about swapping.

I don't know if is a ford rule, my dealer used to swap tires but now says they cannot.
I got stuck with rt/s tires as well.

I haven't called but I bet mine will not swap with me either. I can live with the highway tires, but my next set will have a little more tread.

I'm going for Goodyear duratracs. They're kinda a combination between a a/t and m/t, last long and not too loud. I had a tire shop that was going to give me $100ea for the new pirelli's off my truck. I didnt get around to the swap yet so I'll just try to sell the pirelli's private. (pretty much going to be a give away)

My dealer has a Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center and they swapped the p metric for the AT's without a problem. If I had of saw that option when ordering mine I would have selected it but I didn't. The AT's were $214 each, I was given $100 on each one for trade in. I wanted all five to match including the spare

If you are anywhere near a Pomp's tire I believe they will swap your tire - they had a set price schedule and % they would pay for the old tires as long as they were in "new" condition. I got rid of my A/T's as soon as I could, I don't drive in the mud

Thanks everyone. So far I really like the truck. The power is smooth and quiet. Same goes for the ride. Still trying to figure out all of the gadgets. Seems like I find something new everytime I drive the truck. My first impressions are that this may be the best all around truck I have ever had.
