Can someone please tell me if I use the pair of auto socks on the back or front tires of my F 150, which is 5 speed and NOT 4 WD. thank-you very much.

use on the driven wheels, but to be honest I`d use them on the front as well on a rear wheel drive vehicle, They are best on deep snow and dont spin the wheels as it tears them

You use them on your drive wheels. In your case, a 2WD truck would use them on the rear tires.

F1s are like hockey pucks . Very hard and noisy . The Pilot SS will ride 100% quieter and grip the road at the same time . My business is Corvettes , and Michelin are the tires I recommend

Earl, I live in Texas and cold riding really isn't too common down here. I have a EEE foot and they fit fine with regular socks. Ride safe brother.

They are good for a truck, they definitely are not trailer tires no matter what the other reviewers say. See previous answer for the difference in ratings for vehicle and trailers. Dan

I will check the tires tomorrow, but I live in Montana, and drove on them all winter. They slide a bit, but have holes for spikes. I drove with them through about 1 foot of snow, with no problem in my Ram 1500, in 2 wheel drive. Only put it in 4wd to turn around when the snow got too deep. edit: guy below answered your question!

Absolutely, you need the size that fits your tire size. If you do not know your size, go look at the tires on your car. On the sidewall you will see a series of numbers like 205/70-15. The series will have the slash, etc. Copy down what you find on your car. Then go to www.autosock.com and on the home page you will find a place to enter your numbers. Right below where you entered your numbers, it will tell you what size socks you need. Buy that size for your car.

What are you installing Slime into. I don't believe they recommend using slime for any tire that will be used on highways. It is mainly for construction equipment, farm equipment any off-road vehicle that does not require wheel balancing. It is not recommended,if I remember correctly, for any speeds over 35-45 mph. Yes it can be used on front tires. My commercial mower has it in all 4 tires. i have used Slime now for 5 months without having to add air to any tires. Previously I had to add air every use because of thorns and briars sometimes every couple hours. I can not believe I never installed Slime before this, what a timesaver.

I would think so, I have them on my Ford f150. You would have to use a smaller size tire. The tire is a real nice ride. Great tread.

I bought it for rear tire, it looks like a rear tire mainly, though nothing terrible would happen if you use it in front. It just might be a bit less efficient.

Janis, I have both trucks and it's not worth it trying to convert into a 4x4 truck. Too many parts are different since one has the motor in the chassisand the 2wd has the motor in the rear. That is why I bought 2 different trucks. For what it's worth, I do not race the trucks so I like the 2 wd slashtruck for just bashing around. It's really a fun truck!

You should not need longer shocks. I just recently put these on my 2000 F-150 2WD and am still using the stock shocks. You shouldn't "need" anything else for installation. But keep in mind the age of our trucks. Things will likely break when you start ripping them apart or you may find things in need of replacement while you're under there. I had two bad ball joints and another on its way out so I replaced all four while I was there. Your end links will likely break when you take them apart so expect to replace those (less than $10). Other than that it's just a bit of hard work. Good luck if you decide to install them on your truck, I love the way they look on mine. You should not need longer shocks.

I say get load range E for your ford. I am uncertain if Hankook has load range E, but maybe, and if they do, buy them as they are going to be better and more for the money...These rf10 are not load range E, but one raise above the passenger tires...More for f150 that stays mostly on pavement with some off road....If I can find load range E Hankook with this tread, I will get them....Will

You will not. They come as pictured. The boot is the lower part of the picture. Hard to explain but forms a seal in the head that keeps all dirt and dust out of the plug hole. My 07 f 150 5.4 3v ran so well after plug and coil change! Just do it!

For that size of tire you will need the 695 size of Auto Sock. A full list of size codes can be found on the Auto Sock website.www.autosock.us/fitting-guidepurchase/

I'm not sure. I've only used it on a 4x4 running at &gt;70mph off road. Try asking RAM. They are used by pro's so I wouldn't doubt that it might be fine at even greater speeds.
