Firestone transforce tires?

[stumpguy]

Anybody ever run these tires before?I need to get new 10 ply tires real soon and I really like the tread design of the A/T transforce.

I ran them on my '04 E-350 in the Transforce A/T variety, they were OK for about 50K-but the outer tread blocks are only 1/2 the depth of the grooves in the center-and they end up looking like this (the last one I have on the back of my old Sierra, was a spare until one of my Revo 1s tore a belt)-with around 45K on it.

They were a decent tire-but if I ran regularly in the snowbelt area of NE of Cleveland, I would try to find some snows and get them studded-the BFG Commercial Traction T/A with studs are a GREAT choice.

I ran the transforce AT after the stock continentals ran out. I switched to the transforce HT and am now on my second set of those on my f350. I got a bit over 50k and probably could have gone to 60. I am now at 10k on transforce ht on this set and really like them. They are quiet and do fine in our snow here, in the desert near Reno. I live approx 5 miles down a dirt road. Only chained them once when hunting. My heaviest trailer is 7500# but I like the way they wear evenly and don't get lumpy. They cost 167 ea here so the price is right for the wear and handling.
