Most discount tires will do it but some are better than others. I wouldn't use the ones by me.

Road force balance. If you have a picture of the factory wheels with the most weights on them, sometimes that helps convince them it’s ok to put more weight on. I’ve never gotten a ‘factory’ like balance from D/T, but, I’ve gotten 96-97% and that’s way better than the dealership service departments did.

If it shakes at any speed either through the truck or the steering wheel, take it back and make them do it again. My locals are pretty quick so

And you never will. Any tire shop, unless they just get lucky with a certain set, cannot match what Ford can do with wheel and tires. Ford will reject any wheel or tire that isn't nearly flawless balance wise. It costs them nothing.

The tire manufacturer has to take them back as part of the contract, and they turn around and sell those rejects as OEM replacements.

The manfacturer often will also sell a similar tire to the OEM tire but slightly different- it's the one they wanted to make vs the one Ford forced them to make.

Ford is way more interested in noise and comfort than they are in longevity of the tire. OTOH, the tire manufactuer doens't want a tire that crumbles in 30K miles which gives them a bad name, so it's always fight for the different aspects of the OEM tire between the tire suppliers and Ford.
