Are you keeping your tires?

[Skmcclain]

2020 Expy, came with 275/55/20 all terrain hankooks
Upgraded to the ready lift 3/2 and toyo open country highway 275/60/20s
I say we just keep my original ties and rims for back up. They have 70k miles on them. But have a lot of life left.My husband says sell them.
What do y'all do when you switch your tires?

70,000 miles and the tires are good yet?

 

[RussD89]

Mine will have 1500 miles when i get them swapped next week. Selling them at a discount to my uncle. I've hoarded too much crap in my life that I've downsized the "spare this or that.". I've watched my mother throw out things my father has hoarded over the years, to include old but still "good" tires that he never used again. At 70k, unless the tread is at half of new, I wouldn't keep. You'll never remount them.

So I'm loosing my mind....my husband just came home and I only have 20k on my expy

[Expedition Dave]

I will be selling mine, and possibly the spare w/rim depending.

I kept my stock tires/wheels (31k miles) as a backup & for road trips (better MPG).

 

[RussD89]

At 20k, it would be different. I would hang on to them just like DWs.

And I just re-read where you said rims, which changes the game a little.

What makes that change it?

Not having to get tires remounted on the rims just to use them would lessen the hassle, and effectively provide you with a set for highway trips where the larger tires might hit you for a little mpg, and use the others when you wanted to look cooler, drive around town, or some other reason. Maybe offload the tires for a discount to someone needing them, and get a set of mud tires for weekend camping, or snow tires for a trip to the north. Quite a few possibilities there.

Not going with a full offroad or all terrain set for the new tires means the old ones are truly being replaced and may not serve much purpose to you, and someone will buy your stock rims and tires even with 20k.

I kept the OEM tires mounted on the OEM wheels just for road trips. Had the tire shop install normal valve stems too. Put the factory TPMS’s in the new tires/rims.

So for road trips you have no TPMS? This seems like when you would want TPMS the most.

Yup. I will be old school and use a psi gauge before and during trip. TPMS sensors are $80-120 each. $400+ No thanks

Are those Ford prices or aftermarket?

I’d keep the stock rims and tires. Put them back on during Winter, and/or when you eventually sell it.

A few months ago I shopped around and these sensors were $80-$120 EACH. Aftermarket.

Yeah that is pretty steep.

Stock 22’s have to my surprise been ok for my use. Will run them till replacement. Then go with a beefier hybrid A/T tire BFG Advantage Sport which I put on my Sequoia after many yrs running heavier A/Ts. Turns out the Advantage Sports have been really dang good.. So will try 22’s on the Expedition see how it goes

I kept my original wheels/ tires. I swapped them for the grey 5 spoke Ford wheels that come on the F-150’s and the 275/55/20’s.

Ended up putting the original OEM’s our ‘04 Expedition. The daughter drove the piss out of the tires that were on there. Oh, and the last time I was home I had to get her more tires... the OEM’s had a little less than a of it’s tread life when I swapped them out. Not to mention we’re talking about someone who doesn’t check their tires regularly.

I've never understand people who keep OEM wheels, unless they're some special edition type that are kind of scarce. The only other reason to keep OEM wheels (IMO) is to use them in the winter if you're in the snow & salt. Most people keep the wheels and tires because "they might" use them in the future, just remember the flip side to that statement is you "probably won't". And if you love your new wheels so much that you wouldn't want to sell them with your truck, chances are really good you'll be able to buy someone else's used takeoff wheels to swap out when needed.
