How long are your DMV1's lasting? Also, how are they when you're on dry roads? Have you ever towed with them?
I do not have DM V1's on my F-150 I'm actually running Blizzak W965 E rated tires instead. These tires were bought new in 2008 and used every winter from 08-13 on my Grandfathers 2004 F-150 4x4. When he sold the truck i kept the wheels/tires for my use. They still have 70% tread and have held up GREAT even with more dry weather driving then i would like.
Dry roads will wear them quickly...we typically have snow pack/iced over roads in the winter so they last a while.
I have towed with my DM V1's on my Expedition and had no issues with them. Blizzaks are slightly louder then a normal all terrain or all season.

Thank you. My concern is them not lasting me 20k miles, because of the dry pavement they would see.. I think I'm going to try these anyways on my F150.
Have you thought about looking at junk yards for the 17" rims? Might be a little cheaper and you know it'll fit your truck if it came off of a Ford. I have the 18" rim. I'm not sure on the load specs for the 17" Ford rim.
Well for some reason this website (https://jensentrailers.com/shop/truc...5-6x135-42p-87)is showing very expensive prices. My local aftermarket shop is selling the 4 steelies X47756 17x7.5 6x135 (I don't know the rest of the spec like offset etc) at 80 $ each so it's quite cheap.
I am just wondering if the X47756 are ok for F150 (spec, strong enough, etc)
I tried looking them up on your previous post. This part number goes with a Chevy Equinox as well. Not sure if that means the Equinox is the same bolt patter, or more likely, that these are universal 6-lug rims. Do you have a picture of them? Might be able to compare to a factory 17" rim picture.
Here is the one from the website, hopefully it's not a random picture:
X47756
here are the info I know:
The original ford rim AL3Z*1015*B is a 17x7.5.x... .. .
The aftermarket X44756 above is a 17x17.5 6x135 .. . (last missing digits are offset and color I believe)
It seems close but I am missing digits...
also I hope it's strong enough to support the weight (even though I don't haul or tow much during winter).
I know I am picky but those winter gear doesn't come cheap + Some forum reader living up north might have the same issue
