Best 19.5" tires for F450?
I'm needing new steer tires for my F450. Size 245/70R19.5
It sees a lot of miles. About 70k last year. Probably More this year.
I'm looking for the best quality tire that will provide some smooth rolling comfort, and last close to 100k. (Ideally)
I've ran sumitomo, wasn't impressed
I have cheap COSMO tires now, they're crap.
I found these Firestone's, and I think they might be perfect.

The front axle of the truck scales in at under 5.000lbs. So I think a 12 ply tire would be better suited than a 16 ply.
Does anybody have any recommendations?

Yes they are a good steer tire, these are rated for vocational use. I prefer the M177 for a straight vocational steer and if you need some slightly higher traction than the M154. But if you can get the Firestone tires for a good price you will be happy. Don't expect 100k out of any of these tires its just not realistic in a 19.5.

I am running these on my F450 that I just bought.
