Tires Goodyear or OEM FORD
Goodyear f1 eagle asymmetric 6 but slightly wider at 215/45/17. Transformed the car with much sharper turn in and the rear no longer wants to go sideways in the wet when I put the power on. Also much less road noise and seems to ride more smoothly. This is over the stock bridgestone.
I swapped my Goodyears for 50mm gravel king x1+. I love them and they have been really versatile.
I had bought the Ford 9000 a little before that mission and I used it to take the trailer to the oil rig thinking "I'll get like half way there before getting stuck or flipping". I only had all terrain tires and the best engine. Suspension and transmission stock but she handled it beautifully.
I’ve done tires, tint, rust proofing (fluid film), dash cam, tailgate assist, and a few other minor things I may be forgetting.
The iX does really well in the snow. No skidding at all on the Goodyear All-Seasons. I do feel vibration when going over 50 mph on the highway, and a google search said that it’s because of snow stuck in the wheels. I definitely have snow in there so hopefully it will improve once it melts.
If your ok with the higher noise and stiffer ride, LT rated goodyear workhorse HT, or the workhorse AT-LT if you are regularly in dirt/mud.
Greedy NASCAR wants a 10 month season, they should ask Goodyear for a deal on snow tires.
I say get Goodyear to take the wet tire and give it deeper softer tread, make it a snow tire.
The Flex ate through tires, though. The OEM Goodyears were garbage, as usual.
Current car has Goodyear, the cheapest model. And terrible in snow and ice.
