As a follow-up, even though I had delaminating issues with one tire in my prior set of Michelins, I swapped out the load E rating for the P rating after one trip down the freeway.
I have a super bad back and the load range E tires rode stiffer, which I expected and didn't mind, but the load rating E tires also transferred just enough vibration to the point where I experienced back pain within a mile of highway speeds. Nothing wrong with the tires, the problem is with me and my back back.
Kudos to Michelin for having a 30-day ride guarantee in place that allowed my local Ford dealer to swap out the load class E tires for the standard tires for only $80.00, the cost of mounting and balancing the tires.

I had more problems out of my 2011 eco-boost F150 than my current truck which is a 2015 Silverado. During the first year of owning my F1 50, it had the sliding rear window motor replaced, stereo speakers were replaced three times, the sync system was cumbersome and rarely worked, catalytic converter's failed in under 20,000 miles, the U joints were replaced twice, the PCM had to be recalibrated twice and the wiring for the trailer never worked correctly. My silverado has been flawless so far. The only thing I miss is the eco-boost engine.

Eric, love your crew cab long bed, I love red trucks. I too really like the LTX MS2 but like someone said they are bad in mud and while I don't do much mudding, I do drive around my fields and they slip quite a bit in grass and dirt so I will have to stay with AT tires. Anyway, wanted to ask if your truck was a max tow, I didn't see row mirrors but those can be swapped off. Also, what mud flaps are you running, I am shopping for some now. Thanks.
