Mine howled like a beaten dog on anything other than asphalt. Good choice on the Michlins, you will absolutely LOVE them.
Make sure to stand on the brakes a few times before you switch the tires...I have tried to sell mine and nobody will buy them, even at $200 for all 4 with 90% tread. Makes me regret not having some fun with them first.

Thought mine probably had 50% tread remaining.

I have no complaints about my Pirelli's either yet. In the recent 3" of snow we had I never once had to use 4WD. Even to get up my steep driveway. Not sure why everyone hates them so much.

All at tires suck in snow and ice once you've had real snow tires and know better!

They're fine-ish until you hit a patch of ice. Even feathering the throttle and brakes makes them slide for ridiculous distances. Below 5MPH the ABS deactivates and I kept sliding on flat ground until I hit the e-brake to make it stop. Yet my buddy stops way faster with his cobalt with all-seasons. But you like them..that's fine. 85% of other F-150 owners think they are awful.

I got rid of my Pirellis after 4,000 kms and put on snow tires for the winter. Huge difference (which you'd expect going to a dedicated winter tire).
Now I've got a few months to think about replacement tires in the spring! Have to decide whether I want to replace with a stock size or do a level and 305's.

Lol, ya plus the stock stance looks so much better and your truck won't look retarded if you ever pull or haul anything. With a level the nose is pointing up in the air if you do. I always laugh when I see a leveled truck towing or hauling, looks ridiculous!

I sold my Pirellis with 600 miles on them. I couldn't stand the stock stance with 2.5" of rake and little tires on my truck.
