Nice looking tires! I replaced my original Grabbers with the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W in the original LT265/70 17. They are slightly larger in diameter, so had to shift the front bars to prevent rubbing while turning otherwise they're nice.
I had a similar experience some years ago. That paint is difficult to get off, definitely get on this as the longer it cures the worse it will be.
I used a good DA buffer and rubbing compound, then polishing compound before final waxing.
Be careful not to buff through the clear coat.
Actually yesterday, had new shoes installed.
Falken Wildpeak AT4W to replace the original General Grabber A/TX .
Had to go out this morning and shift the crash bar, they were just barely rubbing at full lock in reverse.
I use Tow/Haul mode or Sport Mode when driving mountains and often just in general. They both save on brakes going downhill and overcome the searching for gears or lagging when climbing. If I'm strictly on the hwy then I may just stay in drive but what's the fun in that!

Check the vent behind the glove box, the little bastards come in through the engine compartment and chew through the vent to get inside the cab - ask me how I know?
Please do keep us posted. I love the dipstick and the funnel would be a great addition in helping keep the 10R80 working as it should. Thanks for s great product!
I installed one a few months ago! Should have been there all along. Mike's build quality is great, Ford should be using his instead of the joke stick they put in.
