What size tires are on a 2019 Ford Transit?
The most common factory tire sizes for the 2019 Ford Transit are 235/65R16C on 16-inch wheels and 235/65R17C on optional 17-inch wheels. However, the exact size depends on the van’s wheel configuration and trim. Always verify with the door placard or the owner's manual.
In practice, tire size on a 2019 Transit can vary by model year configuration (such as single versus dual rear wheels) and whether the van is equipped with standard 16-inch wheels or optional larger ones. Because the Transit is offered in multiple configurations (including different payloads and wheel options), there isn’t a single universal size for every vehicle. The following guidance helps identify the correct size for a specific van.
Common factory tire sizes by configuration
The list below outlines the typical sizes you may encounter on a 2019 Transit, depending on wheel setup. Use this as a guide, but confirm on your actual vehicle.
- 16-inch wheels (most standard configurations): 235/65R16C
- 17-inch wheels (optional on some trims): 235/65R17C
- Note: Dual rear-wheel setups (DRW) generally use the same “C”-rated 16– or 17-inch sizes as their single-wheel counterparts, but always verify for your exact build.
In short, the typical factory sizes you’re likely to see are 235/65R16C or 235/65R17C, depending on whether your Transit has 16" or 17" wheels. Always double-check the label on the driver’s door jamb and the owner’s manual for the precise specification on your vehicle.
How to confirm the exact tire size for your van
To be certain you’re using the correct tires, follow these steps. This ensures you match the factory specification and maintain safe performance.
- Check the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver’s door jamb for the exact size specified for your van.
- Inspect the sidewall of the currently installed tires for the size code (e.g., 235/65R16C or 235/65R17C).
- Consult the 2019 Transit owner’s manual or a Ford dealer to verify VIN-specific tire sizing if there’s any doubt.
- When replacing tires, ensure you match the size, load rating (the “C” rating is common for Transit), and speed rating recommended by Ford.
For regional variations, note that European and other markets sometimes use different specifications. If you’re buying tires outside the U.S., consult the local Ford documentation or a local dealer to confirm the correct size for your exact model and wheel configuration.
Notes for different markets
Across markets, tire sizes can differ due to regional regulations, available wheel options, and body configurations. Always rely on the placard on your vehicle and the official Ford Tire Guide for your country to ensure compatibility and safety.
Summary
The 2019 Ford Transit does not have a single universal tire size. In the U.S., most vans with 16-inch wheels use 235/65R16C, while optional 17-inch wheels use 235/65R17C. Dual rear-wheel configurations generally follow the same sizing, but exact specifications may vary by trim and market. Confirm the correct size with the door placard, the owner’s manual, or a Ford dealer to ensure proper fit and performance.
