I've gotten used to it. I think some people said theirs only started making the sound after the ABS recall software update. But I bought my truck after it was updated, so I don't know if that's accurate or not.
There was another thread on here and a lot of people have this noise, including me. Also my grandpa's 2025 F150 does it. Basically it seems like Ford is aware of this issue but it doesn't seem like they have any fix and it doesn't seem to be causing any actual problems at this point so it may...
It's only 1,704 vehicles that are affected. Just because your build date falls within that window doesn't mean that you are on the recall. Most people won't be on this recall list. The fact that one user who commented on this thread DID have the recall attached to his VIN leads me to believe...
I searched my VIN and it just came back with the 2 recalls for the sunvisor wires and loose seat bolts. Does this mean that my VIN isn't affected? Or has it just not posted yet?
My truck was built in 05/2025
255/75/17 is a great size! That's what were originally mounted on these Bronco wheels when I bought them and I ran those for 6 months. Was a noticeable boost in height over the 255/70/17s and I had no discernible loss of mpg. That should've been the stock size for our trucks IMO.
I think they would work fine, I was about to go with the Toyos if I didn't find the Hankooks on sale. If they do rub, it would be extremely minor and you could probably just spend a few minutes to bend/ push/ zip tie the wheel well liner out of the way slightly.
I find them really quiet so far. But at just under 1k miles, pretty much every tire is quiet. So the jury is still out on that one. Also I have some wind noise issues I need to address that are coming from the driver's window and mirror area, so I may be missing some noise coming from the tires...
It really feels like a bit of a cheat code. Nice gain in ground clearance, not a huge hit to mpg, tougher tire and still a smooth ride. All without even having to change the stock suspension.
I am still going to level the truck at some point. I already have Eibach leveling struts that I got on...
I made an initial post in the wheel & tire fitment thread when I first installed these about a month ago. But I figured I would give a more detailed analysis of these tires and size now that I've had some time with them.
Size: 255/80/17 often referred to as Pizza Cutters are a true 33" tall...
Any issues with the TPMS getting confused and picking up the spare instead of one of the rear tires?
I should probably get a matching spare as well. With 255/80/17 being an uncommon size, I'd hate to get in a bad situation and finding a replacement tire is difficult.
