Last of P series gone

Thursday the last of the P series on my truck are gone.
Of the 8 BFG 275/65/18 tires I have had on my truck,2006F150 wit trailer tow and 18" tire option 5 have been adjusted and 1 blowout at 20,000 miles.
the first time I had them replaced with same brand.At the time I was led to believe that for a tire to be adjusted,you had to get the same type .This time when they started to chunk,small pieces of rubber coming off the tread,I went on line to read the warranty ,I found out they had a 6year,40000 warranty.When I went back to the Discount tire store, where I have been a customer for almost ten years,I explained the problem is the same I had before and I wanted an adjustment for .
The guy looked at the tires and said that was normal O zone damage.
I told him O zone damage doesn't cause chunking and I wanted to see a manager.I told him I wanted LT tires and no more BFG.

I pick up 2 LT 275/65/18 thurs for $100 each,with 5 year ,50000 mi
warranty and not BFG.:)

so what brand did you put? my 2010 F150 has 265/60/18 Michelin P's on it, and I am ready to shop for new NON P tires. I was undecided until yesterday and I had to pull in the wind. The already soft feel was too soft to be comfortable, so I know I am going to an LT or E series. Just have to decide what.

Falken Rocky Mountain ATS II LT275/65/18 load range E


I'm running 60lbs rear,45lbs front.
went from load carrying 2350 lbs to 3415 lbs@80lbs
remember if you run P series on pickup,it is only rated at 90%
plus 35 lbs just to soft and shaky.:E

I already changed my 18" Goodyear P series to Falken E series three weeks ago. Got a 50K mile warranty also. Dropped my Flagstaff Classic on the hitch and it only dropped down 2" same as my previous 2500 Ram 6.7. My F150 sure seems stout enough. JMHO
