My truck is significantly heavier than stock weight, running the same OEM Hankook Dynapro AT-Ms in 275/55R20. Door sticker says 35 all 'round. I've found 33psi cold to be the right pressure.
 
I'm running Load E that have a Max cold of 80PSI, if I'm not mistaken. Obviously that's not called for with an Aluminum F150 sitting on top.

Not even 60
Or 50

Instead, running empty, with a few hundred pounds of tools in the bed, I'm closer to 40-43lbs
and have fantastic even wear for the first 20+K miles.

You are realistic with your tires. Sooo many people believe that Max. Inflation recommendation on the side of the tire is where it is to be run. I’d guess you’re just about perfect until you load her up.

Never thought I’d be a fan of Hankook’s but they have served me just right, they were on it when new. I run mine at 35 PSI. I’d consider buying them when time comes to replace them and they’re a long way from that.

I burned through my first set in ~25K which kinda sucked. But I liked the tire, and they've got a 65K (IIRC) warranty... so if they don't last that long, they'll pay the difference. They strike a nice combination between highway and off-road, while still being a P-metric (thus not riding like a wagon).

I’ve run two consecutive sets of Hancock dynapro at-m’s over 60k with nice even tire wear... but alas they have deviated from their tread and sidewall design so think I’ll try the wildpeak at3’s next

Running 35-40 psi on 325/60r18’s. I like the stiffer handling of higher psi and tow enough that it’s handy to have the extra pressure in the rear.

I finally pulled the trigger on the Falkens. I stuck with stock size and load range, 275/65r18. I bought them through Discount Tire, at $640 to my door, with a $50 mail in rebate coming. The photos just don't so them justice. The truck looks sooooo much better in person with these tires on. I feel like a man again. Lol

I tried to arrange some of the photos as before and afters from the same angle as close as I could get. Obviously I'm not a photographer. I'll update with my experiences as I go. I'm running 38 psi all around right now.

Baaaaaaaaaaa
So, after 2 years now, how are they holding up? Are they wearing well? Noise?
They look great on the truck too.

I have mixed feelings about them. I went a long stretch where I did not rotate them as I should, probably 12, maybe 15,000 miles.

But here at about 25,000 miles they are much closer to being done than they should be. About 10,000 more miles is probably all I should run them.

It's hard for me to make an absolute judgement call on that though, with my failure to keep up with rotating. I rotated my original tires every 5k religiously.

Aside from that, I love the tires. They perform well, they're still quiet on the road, ride well, and do decent off the road for an AT.

When it's time for tires again I'm going to give them one more shot and keep up with proper rotations.

The saving grace, for me, is I am hardly putting any miles on the truck now. I have a 1 mile commute, and some days I ride my bike, some days I drive a Honda I'm borrowing from my mom. She has an SI and a Ranger, and kept her old Civic. It just sat there so she asked me to start driving it. Gladly. Lol

Might take me 2 years to tick off 10k more miles.

They are wearing very evenly. Not chunking or anything crazy like that. Just more wear than I believe they should have for the tread wear warranty they have.

Front two, which were on the rear for a long time

Dang! I have roughly 50k miles on mine right now and that’s about how they look. Figured the same at maybe 10k miles left. I’ve loved these tires and they have performed great so far. Just about got stuck about two weeks ago leaving the hunting spot through some pretty soft muddy roads but they still got me out. As much as I’ve liked them I am considering switching to the General ATX tires. I love the look of them as much as I do the Falkens. I’m just waiting to pull the trigger on ordering tires and new wheels until I make up my mind between the two. I’d like to pull my stock FX4 wheels off and sell them with the falkens while they still have a little life on them.
I have been religious on rotations though so I will say that may be the difference between our experiences with the falkens. I let Ford do all my oil changes and pay for “the works” package every time which comes with a rotation and that’s every 4-5k miles. I also drive on average 600 miles per week so oil changes and rotations happen a little to frequently 😅.

Plan on going with these tires in the coming weeks to replace the duratracs. Just trying to see what's the biggest size I can fit on the truck with a level kit.

I can say for the 2013 Eco I have I used the Falken Wildpeak AT3w at the stock size (275/55R20) for my truck and they are fantastic. The first set I ended up getting 72K out of them and bought another set when I gave the truck to my son. The truck has 156K on it and the 2nd set have about 30K and don't even look like they have wear. Will attach some pictures when he gets back.

Were those the P rated or 10 ply? I'm wondering if mine will do better with 10 ply next time.

I know this is old, but the 2019+ Ram 1500 Rebel runs 33" LT E-range Duratracs from the factory and the door sticker on that truck says to run them at 55 in the front. I couldnt believe it. I had one as a rental in San Antonio and took a picture of the door sticker.

That's because they are set for the load range when towing not for everyday use. So you can't overload them.

Did the Ram ride roughy with the E and that much PSI?

Yeah, it rode surprisingly crappy. Not crappy but very stiff. Rode like a “truck”. But it also has a totally different spring/shock setup than a normal ram.

I have had probably 5 ram rentals in the last 3 years and they all rode extremely well except that one.
