Seems like a lot of folks like a LT tire not designed for an SUV let alone the Expedition but for a light truck. I tried them for a couple of days and got rid of them. If I wanted the harsh ride of a pickup, I would drive a pickup. The proper OEM size tire tire can be aired up to 44psi to give the stiffer side wall ride while towing as designed.
The vehicle does double-duty hauling people and towing. Even at 51 psi the OEM tire sucked while towing. My experience is that the sacrifice in ride comfort, which I was concerned about before upgrading, is not substantial. The truck had poor handling and stability on the OEM tires, even with elevated pressure. Plus, the additional puncture resistance in combination with the other benefits is worth the sacrifice. But of course, to each his own.
