My old Ram had GY AT. They were very decent. Cuts into snow like butter. I was back and forth Between GY and HK. Yesterday, I swung by ford place and saw one ‘18 lariat white pearl with GY. They looked sharp.

Got them Hankooks on my Plat and was planning on trading them for something else, but than decided to keep them. They feel alright and i like the more aggressive thread than the GJ's have on lower end trim levels. I've read that the HK's aren't so good in the winter but i have snows on steel rims for that. They are a tad nosier then the pirelli scorpions i had on my 2012 150.

Boy are those scorpions fun! ... until they get old or low in tread depth - then you're in for a serious pucker moment or two. I had some scorpions on a set of wheels I bought (2011-2012 chrome 20"), and they were great for a few months, and then the first chilly rain (50 degrees), and I was sliding all over the place. Couldn't even do the speed limit. I parked the truck and drove my spare car for a couple of weeks while I figured out what I wanted.

Were they a summer tire??

Sounds a lot like the Pirelli P Zero summer tires I have on my Hellcat. Cold roads do not grip near as well. About to switch those over to some Pirelli all season.

I'll have to double-check next time I'm in my basement, but I'm pretty sure they were the stock scorpion tire on an F-150, so all-seasons. They were 4 years old, but had some tread left on them. Just got squirrely real quick. I swapped back to stock wheels for the winter, and was going to put something else on in the spring, but traded the truck that winter. Now the chrome wheels are just sitting in the basement since my 2015 came with the 20" PVDs.

Just an up date here after having several days of driving and checking the truck out.
This thing is Perfect!!

Don't want to jinx myself but what a truck, smooth, powerful, and eat up with luxury and tech. I am a very satisfied customer.

Oh yeah? Well I can reach the passenger side window crank of my 08 Ranger and wind the window up and down, and it doesn't even squeak that much! So there.

That is a lot of cash for a Super-duty but I knew it would happen sooner rather than later. I thought mine was too much!
