In the past, I've put some sort of AT tire (Wranglers etc) on my stock 2013 F150 and just worn them out with the daily driver stuff.
I'm tired of buying new ATs almost every year.
I (will) put 25k miles a year on my new 2024 F150 and have these usage modes:

• The vast majority of use is clear and dry hwy miles (e.g. 50 round-trip to the office or 2200 to visit family) and daily-driver stuff.
• 1-2 feet of snow over pavement a couple times a year but only for maybe a couple miles before dropping down in altitude (southern mountains stuff).
• Towing a 22-ft lead-keeled sailboat (2000#-3000# plus the trailer) a few hours to the lake. Lucky year would be one trip each way and floating in a marina, unlucky is several weekend trips a year.
• Mountain travel several times a year on potentially rocky double tracks. Picture below is a relatively tame location that gets rocky around the corner. I get pretty nervous driving these tracks with only OEM/highway tires.

Now, I'm considering buying a second set of wheels for the AT tires and swapping them on when I want to drive off pavement, and mostly running high-mileage-warrantee tires for the daily driver stuff.
I'm seeing these benefits:

• Available off road tires when needed.
• Save the AT's for when they're really needed.
• Improved fuel economy for most of my driving.
• Quite ride for most of my driving.
• Most miles on most durable tires.

Drawbacks are

• Gotta do the swap
• $$$$

I've got a decent trolley jack and would probably pick up a MKE 18v impact wrench. Should take what 20-30 minutes per swap (I'm almost retired and not youthful anymore)?
I usually carry two spares when out in the mountains too, and yes I've used both on one trip.
Boat towing with the highway tires.

Anyone else doing this? Opinions on whether its worth the effort to get the benefits?

Thanks for the welcome to the F150Forum and pics or it didn't happen.

 

just buy a decent AT and be done with it. my BFG's are quite and are warranted for at least 50K miles.

 

Thanks @techrep

 

AS stated in above post but you could try a "C" rated load tire (6ply) & again I wouldnt want anything heavier that a 6 ply tire
