Well I only have 23k miles on the truck and when I was driving home, talking on the ham radio, I hear a strange nose. I didn’t think much about it at first, (we had high winds) then the rear end started to push on me, so I looked in rearview and say sparks flying. Pulled over and the tire was in shreds. The middle of the side wall was gone on the outer side!
I looked at the other tires and they have signs of sun rot, near the rim. Now my question, should I get with the dealer and see if they will replace them or just get a new set all around? I haven’t heard of a recall for these tires. They are the BF Googrich Rugged Trail TA’s.

I imagine you will have to go to a BF dealer to get warranty. Ford does do recalls on tires but the tire warranty is through the tire company.

Make sure they are the correct load rating for the truck, if they arent, you may not be able to use the warranty...
