What are the factory tires on a Ford F-150?
On modern Ford F-150 pickups, there isn’t a single “factory tire” that applies to every truck. The tires Ford ships with depend on year, trim level and available wheel packages. In general, F-150s leave the factory with 17-, 18-, 20- and sometimes 22-inch wheels, wearing tires sized roughly 265/70R17, 275/65R18, 275/55R20, or 275/50R22. High-performance and off-road variants such as the F-150 Raptor use larger tires, typically around 315/70R17 (roughly 34 inches in diameter).
How tire sizes are determined on the F-150
The tire size installed on a given F-150 is dictated by its production year, trim and option packages. To confirm the exact factory tire size for your vehicle, check the driver’s door jamb placard, consult the owner’s manual, or use Ford’s VIN-based build/parts lookup tools available through dealerships or the Ford website.
Common OEM sizes by wheel diameter
Below are typical size ranges you might see, organized by the wheel diameter the truck came with. These are general references and can vary by year and trim.
- 17-inch wheels: commonly 265/70R17
- 18-inch wheels: commonly 275/65R18
- 20-inch wheels: commonly 275/55R20
- 22-inch wheels: commonly 275/50R22 (selected trims and packages)
- Raptor and other off-road/performance variants: commonly 315/70R17 (about 34 inches in diameter) on 17-inch wheels
The sizes listed above reflect typical factory configurations and are intended as guidance. For any given vehicle, the exact tire size can differ based on model year, trim, and optional equipment. Always verify your specific tire size on the vehicle documentation or by inspecting the door placard.
Trim-specific notes and exceptions
Some variants use specialized OE tire packages to match performance or capability goals. For example, the F-150 Raptor is equipped with larger, higher-capacity tires suited to off-road use, and Tremor models adopt a rugged all-terrain setup. These configurations can differ from the standard XL/XLT/Lariat/Platinum/Limited lineup.
If you’re shopping for new tires or verifying your current setup, rely on the VIN-based configuration tools or your vehicle’s door placard to confirm the exact factory tire size and rating. Upgrading tires should maintain appropriate load and speed ratings to preserve safety, warranty, and performance characteristics.
Summary
The Ford F-150’s factory tires are not uniform; they vary by year, trim, and wheel size. Typical configurations include 17-, 18-, 20-, and sometimes 22-inch wheels with sizes like 265/70R17, 275/65R18, 275/55R20, and 275/50R22, plus larger 315/70R17 tires on Raptor models. To know your exact factory tire size, check the door placard or consult Ford’s official configuration resources for your specific VIN.
