I have a 2013(not 2015!) FX4 - just now getting done with new Pirelli's that came on it, getting a leveling lift and 34x11.5 tires put on it in a couple weeks.
Just spent a lot of time fiddling around about gas mileage and spent $1500 at the dealer to get new front calipers, front rotors and pads, rear parking brake switches fixes, rear rotors turned, etc... Apparently I've been driving for a year with the brakes on. Just got home from the dealer and the ride is much improved. I thought it was partially stuck in 4WD or something, just felt like it was being held back. I guess having the brakes on will do that. Dealer says the pads were put on wrong last year and that put me on the path to ruin. My garage says no way, the caliper stuck and ruined the pads.

Got it back last night, here's the before and after for my 2013 FX4. 2" front lift and 275/65R20 Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP tires.

Looks great, nice upgrade.

DavidFX4

I'm thrilled. Those wheels look pretty good with some meat on them, and the wheel wells look so much more 'full'. I feel like I have a new truck.

nicely done. Im going with the same brand/size tire! how's the road noise compared to stock?

DavidFX4

These tires definitely sing a bit. stock was super quiet, I can hear these.

goathead

would you say you can hear them in the cab with the windows up above normal conversation?

DavidFX4

I'd guess no. I had the radio off (which I never do) and I was listening for it. But I was only going around 40/45 - I have not had them up to highway speeds yet.
