Why do I have the crappy Perreli tires, but my spare is a Goodyear :(

Demand a set of Goodyears? Why have we all the sudden gotten to such a sense of entitlement because we don't like something? Nothing personal against you at all Tussin as I mean no offense by it, but that is how the truck is made and what it is built with. If you don't like the stereo are you going to go and DEMAND a new one too? Where does that end?

The majority of people that I have seen that are having problems are those with the ATR's for some reason.

Is that how it goes now? FX4's come with scorpion ATR's? Been out of the loop for awhile, as I no longer work at a ford dealer. But my old boss at the dealer would get demo trucks every 4 months. He had 3 FX4's, 2 platinums, and 1 harley davidson, all came with scorpion STR's, not ATR's. I'm just asking, not trying to be negative.
I could certainly be wrong, but at least in my area, all the 4wd 20's are ATR's and all the 2wd 20's are STR's.

My Lariat 4x4 came factory with ATR's. So far I love them. As for the steel 18" spare that's the standard one for all Fords. Don't think I'd want an expensive 20 inch aluminium wheel underneath getting hit by rocks, road salt and whatever else.

no worries, i wasnt looking for a matching aluminum wheel, i wouldnt expect that at all. I just figured having a "full size" spare would mean a 20" wheel and matching tire to go with it. so in all technicalities, its not a true full size spare

I have a 2012 FX4 and am in the same situation as you. I dont think it matters much or Ford would not have built it that way.
I have no issues with my Pirelli tires, in fact everyone that has seen the tires has made a comment like, wow, you even have Pirelli tires on there. No problems or complaints here.
