For anyone struggling with this and finding this thread.  I can confirm for 2024 that the tire weight mismatch IS a cause of this behavior.


One year ago, "Tire Shop" told me I had (2) tires that would not balance and were bad (they were).  "Tire Shop" mistakenly sold me (2) E rated tires... and installed them - without me ever knowing...  they never checked that they were replacing C rated tires.


Fast forward, "Tire Shop" rotated the tires incorrectly - which (happenstance) resulted in me having one E rated and one C rated tire on each axle.


... but I didn't know.


The truck started pulling HARD to the left in 4A... it was a dangerous, unusable state.  I took it in to Ford - they looked and looked... and couldn't find anything wrong - told me it was fixed... it wasn't.  I took it back, they looked and looked again - swapped tires... and it pulled hard right.


Ford told me I had a bad tire - to deal with the tire shop.  I found this thread... and went and looked at the truck.  Holy crap.


"Tire Shop" volunteered to do the right thing and replaced (1 year later) the 2 E-rated tires with C-rated tires today.  The truck dries like a dream... a little torque steer in 4A... but as it should be!
