Ummm these hankook tires..
Have the factory 20s with 275 Hankook ATs. Truck is only a month old so I don't know how they are in the summer, but the winter ice and snow performance is amazing.
These are the best factory installed tires I've gotten on a new vehicle. I can't bear to replace these, I guess I'll wait till these are worn for larger shoes.

I've wondered how they are, but will never know. Before our truck arrived, I bought some 18" Sport OEM wheels and TPMS, and some Bridgestone Blizzak 275/65-18 snow tires. I use Blizzaks on my Volvo XC70 and wife's Infinity QX60, both of which AWD. Why snows on a 4WD or AWD? They have large number of tread sipe slits and hydrophilic rubber compound that make them incredible on ice, and the tread grabs on snow. I don't mind having 2 sets of wheels/tires per vehicle.
Since I wouldn't need the Hankook's for winter or summer, I sold the Kumho's with 7 miles on them. I bought Bridgestone Alenza Plus summer tires for the stock 20" wheels to get smooth and quiet. I figure that if I got in a situation where couldn't get motive traction with 4wd and a locker, I prolly shouldn't have been there.
So did I miss out on anything with the Hankook's?

I had those tires on my previous 2010 F-150. They were incredible. Ride was great as was traction in snow. My old 2010, really seemed to like to roll. Like it had friction free wheels. Do not know if that was due to the tires or what. My new 2015 has Wranger's on 20 inch wheels. Ride is not as soft but handles well in the snow. It rolls OK but does not seem to be as free as the 2010 with Hankook's mounted.

Mine were great when new but the second half they became slick and worse than the good years

Oh I get it.... they are tires but he called them "shoes". Like a car has tires that touch the ground and a person has something that touches the ground too but they aren't tires they are shoes.... oh man thats so funny. He is referring to his truck like it's a person. That's so cool. You win the internet.

i was driving in snow last night ( and the last 2 weeks) and was thinking exactly the same thing. every truck I have owned except for the duramax had junk tires. I am digging these hankooks. My BIL has them on 3 of his farm trucks (e-rated) and loves them as well.

Good to hear. Hopefully I'll get a decent buck for mine when I take them off the truck as soon as I get it. 😀

I have a set of those on my E350 and I have run them on countless Jeeps. Hands down, by far, the absolute best snow tire on the market in my opinion. Definitely what will be replacing the OEM tires on my F150 when the time comes.
