Consumer Description

TRYING TO REPLACE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE. FORD MANUFACTURED TRUCK WITH P235/75/R17 TIRES, AND THIS IS ON DOOR PLATE. NO ONE WILL SELL THIS SIZE TIRE FOR THIS TRUCK WHICH HAS TOWING PACKAGE, EXCEPT FORD. THE ONLY SIZE ANYONE WILL SELL IS P265/60/R18 OR P275/55/R20. ONE EXCEPTION: TIRE RACK WILL SELL P255/65/17 IF RIMS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. TWO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS EVEN HAD PROBLEMS. FORD MAINTAINS THAT IT IS FACTORY EQUIPMENT AND THEREFORE IS CORRECT FOR THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE AN ERROR MAY HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE FACTORY. I NEED NEW TIRES SOON AND I CANNOT GET FORD TO EVEN AGREE TO THE P255 SIZE TIRE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE FOR TOWING FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FROM A NON FORD SOURCE. I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE WILL SELL ME THE FACTORY SIZE TIRES FOR THIS TRUCK, EXCEPT FORD, OF COURSE. HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
