T9C: 225/70R19.5F MAX TRACTION SBR BSW TIRES -inc: front & rear traction tires *Not recommended for on-road use

Question: Why are the Max Traction tires not recommended for on road use? Is it the tread wear, the rubber compound, The truck has a 15,000 GVWR, so are the tires not up to the task?
Thanks

Read the rest of the blurb in the Order Guide:

"...could incur irregular front tire wear and/or NVH."

Any tire with an agressive "off road" tread, even some A/T tires, will have irregular wear on the front tires way before the normal wear-out miles is achieved. Especially when driven at high speeds on pavement.

And "NVH" = noise, vibration, and harshness. Not a good thing for most people. And yes, tires with an agressive tread will have higher NVH than tires with all-season or rib tread.

Nothing you didn't already know. Ford just puts it in the order guide to warn inexperienced kids that the Max Traction tires may not be a good choice for them if they don't like NVH or premature tire wear.

When you gripe about tire wear with those tires, the "I told you so" is already in black and white.
