Buy or wait?

2021 tremor with 73 and some change on the meter.
I rotate just about every oil change. Had them balanced this oil change.
Ive said it before, I usually trade once I pay off a vehicle. I hold no attachment or run them in the ground. I move on while there still is some value in the vehicle. This one will be paid off in a few months. My interest with ford is 1.9%, so I’m not in a rush to pay it off.

The tires are original general grabbers. They were getting loud and vibrating before the rotation and balance. Seems a little better. I was thinking about a new set of 4. But even the service guy said these look fine. And that surprised me as I figured he’d push a new set on me when I said I was looking.
Generals, Falken, all the big names are a $1000.00 installed.
Mastercraft which I’ve had good luck with and the Kenda Klevers are $800.00 -$900.00 installed
The Kendas seem to have pretty good reviews on them.

These are front and back

I myself would replace them with something else. There are plenty of better tires. Also I would consider the Firestone Destination XT. An excellent tire and available in the Factory size assuming you want to leave it close to stock.

Went with Falken Rubitreks
$817.00 out the door
Looked at Cooper road & trail
Toyo AT 3 most expensive
Yokohama geolander G015

crazy thing is I lined these up alphabetically and they got more pricey C to Y
The shop I use tossed a price for the toyos and they were the most expensive

Go in Thursday for them

Well, your service guy is right, they do look fine. My experience with the more aggressive AT tires, is that they're only good (in multiple ways) for the first half of their 'tread wear life'. Once that outer 50% is gone I've lost 80% of the functionality.
You don't seem to notice it as badly with all-seasons because they only see asphalt, but they lose quality as well, primarily with water/rain.

About 50-60 miles so far.
Now I don’t know if it’s the tires but, simply amazing!
Zero noise, no vibration, seems like acceleration is better, mileage is staying the same.
Real test is an upcoming trip to Minnesota in July
Driving up to see my mom next week, about 200 miles of back road and highway driving.

What is your use case?? Grocery getter?? work truck?? Off-roader?? Trailer towing?? General mixed case... some of all??

Unless you find the noise too annoying and/or it sees heavy loads (and with 73K miles on it and they look that good, I'm guess it does not), keep running them... save $1k...
