How was the efficiency you're road trip? Still happy with the tires?
So far so good. I think I Got 1.7ish averaging 70 to 75mph, which is probably ~5% worse at most than my OEM Grabber All seasons. I did stop and get 10% charge at a Tesla supercharger, which is Almost exactly what I rolled into the garage at. Added Road noise is negligible in my opinion.

Just put the Toyo Open Country A/T III EV on mine based on the reviews here. Just of $2k at Discount Tire installed and warranty. They are a bit louder than the factory Hankooks I took off that were having the bad edge wear like many others have. Living in Minnesota I wanted something with good winter ratings without having to put on snow tires. The Hankook averaged 2.1 kw/mile over the last 9,000 miles. I reset the trip odometer today and we will how these do. Had them pump them up to 50psi, they had them at 45. They warned me to watch center wear, manufacturer suggests 43 psi.

I'm leaning in this direction and will be curious to hear what you think about them!

I pulled the trigger on the TOYO III EV’s 275/60/20

I’ve only run them to work once so the impact on range when compared to the Grabbers is still TBD.

I was more worried about the noise.
The Grabbers at 80mph 63dB
The Toyo’s at 80mph 64-65 dB (reading kept fluctuating. There is a noticeable hum but it’s not obnoxious. But enough that I can still notice it with the music playing.

I’ll add that the Discount Tire guy said they were the 10ply version instead of the 4ply. I didn’t realize there was an option. $400 / tire. With certificates came to $2100.
The ride is noticeably better imho…less float. DT aired them up to 50psi. I was surprised how much better it rides.

Yea that price was just to hard to justify for me but they look like great tires. Literally double what my Dynapro AT2 Xtreme's were

Looking
I am loving the Continental TerrainContact A/T. Best tires I've ever had on a vehicle.
I got them installed yesterday at Discount Tire. This is such a nice looking tire vs. General Grabber HTS that was gone with only 20K miles on them.

Are you still getting the same range with Conti A/T's or did you take a small hit.

I recently swapped out my 20" wheels for factory F150 18" wheels after getting them powder-coated to match my truck's color (Carbonized Grey). They came out looking great!

As for tires, I initially opted to put on Nokian Outpost nAT tires in 265/70/18 (standard load). I have to say they were terrible. Lots of noise and vibrations felt in the truck despite acceptable roadforce values. I returned them and put on Bridgestone Dueler Ascent in the same size and rating. The Ascent replaces the Revo3 in the Bridgestone lineup. In this size, the Bridgestones come with OWL, which I love the look of. As far as ride quality, it was day and night compared to the Nokian's -- the Bridgestones are quieter, smoother and more efficient. They come close to the factory Hankook Dynapro's truck came with. Personally, I would not recommend putting on Nokian Outpost nAT on the Lightning.

update: I have about 750mi on them…got my first flat. Strange damage. Wonder if someone was shooting at me? 🤣. Discount tire has one on order so hopefully I’ll be up and running in a day or two.

I can report the scissor lift had no issue lifting the truck. My last F150 jack was bent after jacking up the truck…no signs of that this time.

I like tires! Range is tough to judge because winter arrived just as I got the tires on. So range drop was inevitable either way. But I’m currently running at 1.7mi/kW averaging 75-80mph on the freeway. Weather is about 40-50F. A 15% drop.

My vote is a drill bit with countersink. Drill it a little deeper and find some rubber with a matching grain and make a plug...just like fine woodworking.

How have they been so far? In MN also so I've been leaning this direction, only hesitance is the cost. But I also don't want to run summer/winter tires so maybe it's cheaper in the end?

Hows the range impact been so far?

Still holding at 1.7mi/kWh With 827 mi. Mix of freeway at 80mph and city. When I slow down to around 70mph, I’ve see 2.1mi/kWh. On the Grabbers I had 2.0mi/kWh over 7000mi.

The problem is it’s cold now and that 7000mi included a winter and a summer. So we’ll see. If I had to guess, I think we’ll settle at 1.8mi/kWh in the end.

I’ve been happy with them. This last week mileage has been around 1.2 m/kw for around town driving.
