What tires come stock on a F-150?
The exact stock tires on a Ford F-150 vary by model year and trim; there is no single tire size that applies to all trucks. For most recent models, factory tires are matched to the wheel size option and typically fall in the ranges of 265/70R17, 275/65R18, or 275/55R20, with special cases for high-performance or off-road versions.
This article explains how stock tire sizes are determined, what you can expect based on wheel size and trim, and how to confirm the exact OEM size for your specific truck. It also covers notable variations for special editions like the Raptor and trucks equipped with larger 22-inch wheels, and offers practical steps to verify the correct factory tires in your own vehicle.
Typical stock tire sizes by wheel diameter
The following list highlights common factory tire sizes that have been offered with different wheel diameters on recent F-150 models. Exact sizes can vary by year, trim, and option packages, so always check the door placard or the owner's manual for your specific truck.
- 17-inch wheels: P265/70R17 (most base XL and some XLT configurations).
- 18-inch wheels: P275/65R18 (commonly found on XLT and mid-range trims with upgraded wheels).
- 20-inch wheels: P275/55R20 (typical on higher trims and many optional-wheel packages).
- 22-inch wheels: around P275/40R22 or P275/45R22 (used on some premium trims and special editions; exact size varies by year and package).
- Raptor-specific setup: 315/70R17 on 17-inch wheels (a longtime standard for most Raptor generations; exact tire brand and compound can vary by year and package).
Note: While these sizes capture common factory setups, Ford occasionally updates tire sizes with new model years, packages, or regional configurations. Always verify against your door placard, the original window sticker, or Ford’s official specifications for your exact VIN.
Trim-specific and special-case notes
Some F-150 trims and editions use distinctive tire sizes or wheel-and-tire packages that depart from the base configurations. Understanding these differences helps when planning replacements or upgrades and ensures you stay within OEM specifications for performance, warranty, and fitment.
Raptor and off-road-focused editions
Traditionally, the F-150 Raptor ships with 315/70R17 tires mounted on 17-inch wheels. The exact tire model (brand and tread pattern) can vary by year and production run, but the 315/70R17 sizing has been a defining characteristic of the Raptor’s stock setup in multiple generations.
Upper-trim models with 22-inch wheels
Higher-end trims that ride on 22-inch wheels often use low-profile tires around sizes such as 275/45R22 or similar, depending on the year and factory package. These trucks are more sensitive to changes in ride quality and load capacity, so sticking to OEM sizes is advised when replacing tires.
For any year or trim not specifically covered here, consult the tire placard on the driver’s door jamb, the owner’s manual, or Ford’s official vehicle specifications to confirm your exact stock size.
If you’re shopping for OEM tires, it’s useful to note that some dealer or aftermarket sources may list regional or year-specific sizes; always cross-check with the VIN-derived spec when possible.
How to verify the exact stock tire size for your truck
The following steps help ensure you’re using the factory-verified tire size for your particular F-150, which is important for performance, safety, and warranty considerations.
- Check the tire placard on the driver’s door jamb for the original tire size and recommended inflation pressure.
- Review the window sticker or build sheet if you have access to the vehicle’s original documentation or Ford’s online Build & Price tool using your VIN.
- Inspect the sidewall of the current tires for the code that can be cross-referenced to the factory size list.
- Ask a Ford dealer or a certified service center to verify the OEM size against your VIN to account for year-specific variations.
Using the correct OEM tire size helps preserve load ratings, speed ratings, and driving characteristics that Ford designed into your truck. If you’re replacing tires for upgrades (all-terrain, highway, or performance tires), consider staying within the OEM size range or consult a professional about appropriate substitutions.
Summary
In short, there is no single tire size that covers every Ford F-150. Stock tires depend on the model year and trim, with common factory sizes tied to wheel diameter (17", 18", 20", and, on some trims, 22"), plus special considerations for the Raptor. To know your exact stock size, check the door placard, owner’s manual, window sticker, or Ford’s official resources for your VIN. When in doubt, a dealership or certified tire professional can confirm the OEM specification and help you choose appropriate replacements that maintain performance and warranty compatibility.
