A couple of guys have tried Pirellis and seem to like them:

Michelin Premier LTX DT vs Defender LTX M/S

I feel you on the nails. Why I replaced all 4. I had 3 nails in 6 months, all in non repairable areas. I don’t know that I can blame the tire, but I was just driving on city streets, no construction or other areas I would expect to pick up a mail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well...

Hankook tires

Has anyone had trouble with the hankook tires. I bought a new 2019 in early 2020 and have less than 10,000 miles. I am going to need my fourth new tire Due to nails etc. I have the 22 inch rimes and have never had to buy 4 new tires on any car before needing replaced.Anyone have any suggestions...

I'm curious as to how one would even get anything back for the stock tires if they don't reach the stated treadlife. I've gotten credit from discount tire on tires i've bought from them but never had luck on the stock set. Have you been able to do this?

OE tires don't carry any type of treadwear warranty.

I had the Pirelli Scorpion STR before the Michelins. It was a good tire overall, but the softer sidewalls made for more lean in turns. It was great in the snow - better than my Michelins. The treadwear was awful though. I got to just under 35k before all 4 tires were down to 2/32nds - 30k shy of the 65k they are rated for.

I found this guide (granted a few years old) but shows a pretty good warranty on OE tires.

Pirellis that got a whopping 35k? That might be a world record

Pirellis are fun tires that don't last. That's their thing.

Did you read it?

What is not covered ...

Bridgestone / Firestone
2.Rapid tread wear or wear-out. Original equipment tires have no mileage warranty.
Click to expand...

Pirelli
Mileage warranty on tires fitted as Original Equipment (Pirelli brandtires supplied as original equipment on new vehicles)
Click to expand...

Toyo
Rapid Treadwear: Original equipment tires are not guaranteed to last aspecified number of miles.
Click to expand...

Goodyear /Dunlop
Tires supplied as original equipment are not eligible for any tread lifewarranty consideration.
Click to expand...

Continental
Mileage:Tread wear out up to a predetermined mileage is not coveredunder this policy.
Click to expand...

Yokohama, Hankook and Maxxis exercise the same policy by simply omitting any guarantee of treadwear mileage.

Finally, there's Michelin / BFG. The Ford doc makes it look like there's a treadwear warranty, but directs you to Michelin to read the details. The tire warranty doc over at Michelin clears things up.

No treadwear warranty for tires delivered as original equipment on your vehicle.

So once again, there is no treadwear warranty on OE tires.

If you switch, I can vouch for the Defender. I owned the LTX M/S 2 on several of my cars (I believe the M/S 2 was the Defender predecessor). Great tread life. Best overall tire for all season driving.

They are 31,000 miles and about 27 months old.

Is the 27 months on the tires or the ford? Not that it is important, just curious.

Low mileage tires, dry rotted, I'd take them to dealer for adjusting. Maybe at least new tire discount. That will tell you a lot about dealer for future service.

Have over 20k miles on Perilli Scorpion Verde A/S II. Love how these tires have performed (Have 22” stock rims). Not had any flats, quiet, handle better than the Hankook’s and way better wet traction. The truck also tracks well while towing our boat.
Have Michelins on my other vehicles.
