In general, the non OEM versions are heavier wall and more ply’s but not always just XL. AT3w’s come also in C and D ratings.

- Ride quality: An OE tire is often optimized for a quieter ride and better on-road manners, while an aftermarket equivalent may prioritize aggressive off-road performance.
The FO at the end of the number indicates they are the Ford OEM tire.

Interesting! Thanks!.
I'll look into canceling the GO15s and go with the Ford Spec ATW3s if possible.
