What tires come on a F-150 Platinum?
Stock tires on most Ford F-150 Platinum pickups are typically all-season tires mounted on 20-inch wheels. The exact tire size and model depends on the model year and regional market, so it’s important to check your vehicle’s door placard or owner’s manual for the precise specification.
Typical tire size and wheel setup
Across most recent Platinum trims, Ford outfits 20-inch wheels with all-season tires. The size most commonly associated with this combination is P275/55R20, though exact brand and model can vary by year and region as wheel options or supplier choices change over time.
- 2015–2020 era Platinum models commonly used P275/55R20 all-season tires on 20-inch wheels, with varying tire brands by year and region.
- 2021–2023 Platinum models generally continued the 20-inch wheel with an all-season tire in the P275/55R20 range, though you should verify for your exact build.
- Some Platinum configurations (particularly when paired with off-road or special packages) could use alternative tires (for example all-terrain tires) if specified by the package or if a dealer swapped tires.
In general, check the tire placard on the driver’s door jamb and the tire sidewall to confirm the exact size for your vehicle, since sizes can vary by year and by the wheels installed at factory.
Variations by year, market, and option packages
Ford sometimes updates wheel and tire specs with new model years or changes in packaging. In addition to the standard all-season tire setup, a few Platinum builds may include different tires if equipped with off-road or luxury packages, or if markets mandate different tire sizes.
- All-season tires on 20-inch wheels are the norm for most US Platinum models in recent years.
- Off-road-oriented configurations or packages may switch to all-terrain tires on the same 20-inch wheels or offer different wheel sizes as part of the package.
- Export or regional variants may use slightly different sizes or brands based on local regulations and supplier availability.
Always confirm with your dealer or by inspecting the tire sidewall and door placard for the exact tires installed on your specific vehicle.
How to verify the exact tire on your vehicle
To determine the precise tires currently installed on your F-150 Platinum, you can check several sources and indicators. The easiest method is to read the tire sidewall, which shows the size, load index, and speed rating. The vehicle’s door jamb placard also lists the factory-installed tire size and recommended inflation pressure. If you want to know the original factory configuration, consult the build sheet or the window sticker (Monroney label) for your vehicle’s VIN sequence at the time of manufacture.
Practical tips for replacement and maintenance
When replacing tires, ensure you match the size and speed rating as specified for your vehicle, and consider the intended use—Platinum trims are often configured for highway comfort with all-season tires, while off-road packages may benefit from all-terrain tires. Budget and climate variations may lead you to choose different brands that meet or exceed OEM performance.
Summary
The Ford F-150 Platinum typically ships with 20-inch wheels paired to all-season tires, predominantly in the P275/55R20 size. However, exact tire size and tread design can vary by model year, regional market, and optional packages. Always verify the current configuration on the door placard and the owner's manual, and consult your dealer if you’re considering replacement tires or a different package. A quick check of the tire sidewall will confirm the precise size and rating for your vehicle.
