I looked it up because it was odd to me why a truck would have passenger tires. Some had the P-rated tires, and some had LT tires. Yours would be C load LT tires, which should be standard on a 1/2 ton truck. D should be on there if you tow.

I also saw that the passenger tires were only lasting like 20k on F150s. This happened to my dad twice, and I've noticed it happens to my mom's GL550 with P-rated tires also. That leads me to believe they are not designed or suitable for trucks and SUVs

Eta: Reading comments online from multiple lead engineers at different tire companies, they do not advise getting P-rated tires on a truck. This is a scam used by Ford to get better mpg and better ride, and the engineers hinted at it being unsafe

I did this also. It recommends 35 psi.

Why would your '15 model recommend 50 psi and my '14 recommend 35 psi? 50 psi sounds really high, are you sure about that? My max pressure on my tires is 44 psi.
