Ford F150 Tire Basics

Understand Tire Sizes

Each tyre is stamped with the number which indicates the width, aspect ratio and the diameter. Example: P275/65R18. Knowing this alphanumeric code saves you time and prevents mistakes when you need to compare tire choices or make sure the size fits.

Breaking it down:

• P275: Tire width in millimeters.

• 65: This is the aspect ratio (sidewall height as a percent of width).

• R18: radial tire 8 inch diameter.

Refer to your owner’s manual or driver’s side door jamb sticker for the stock size. I have found this to be the most accurate resource for what tires should have come on your truck and what the manufacturer recommends.

The first question to ask is this: Will they fit? And don’t forget, tire size changes more than just appearance; it can affect drivability.

Why Fitment Matters

Fitment Is More Than Meets the Eye

Fitting the wrong tires can:

• Interfere with suspension

• Blow speedometer readings

• Cause nibbing and wear and tear

• Decrease fuel efficiency

Make sure to use a tire compatibility check before you buy. Don’t tempt fate — get a good fit every time. The right fitment protects your vehicle and would prevent harmful damage. If they are too big or the offset is way off, that vibration can become pull and you could even lose control.

Additionally, inadequate fitment could make your truck less safe in the wet, ice, or off-road. Apart from safety, incorrect tire sizes will see your car suspension running down asymmetrically and reducing the life of your shocks, ball joints, and bushings.

There are even some that let you see how different sizes will look on your truck though augmented reality.

Double-check these sources to make sure the size you pick won’t sacrifice safety. Remember, all compatible set of tires will also need to be matching by bolt pattern, offset, and load rating.

The Effects of Changes to Fitment on Tires

Lifts, Leveling Kit’s and trimming on the Fenders

Like I said, mods can hamper tire options:

• Leveling kits: Gives space for additional tire size

• Lift kits (4-6″): Ideal for 37″ tires

• Cut- Tuck: Can be required with aggressive fitments

For a leveled truck, the front end is raised a bit to sit evenly with the rear, adding extra clearance. More room in the wheel wells means you could fit larger tires. Just keep in mind that a lift alters the truck’s center of gravity that can potentially impact handling.

Pro Tip: Utilize a fitment guide for tires before and after suspension mods. A leveling kit may allow 33-inch rubber to clear without issues, and a 6-inch lift may give you plenty of clearance for a 37-inch mud-terrain without rubbing.

How to Do a Tire Compatibility Test

• Use online tire calculators

• Consult your local tire shop

Tools for making sure the answer is “Yes, they’ll fit!” is always yes. Don’t guess when it comes to your tires, small differences have the possibility of causing alignment or safety issues down the road.

New Tire Rotation and Balance

Keep Them Fitting Longer

TO rotate properly to help tire wear, from uneven tread wear. Balance tires decrease vibration and deliver improved control. That all adds up to long-lasting durability and reliable performance.

Rotation Schedule:

• Every 5,000 to 7,000 miles

Tips:

• Cross-Rotate front and rear tires

• Verify fitment after suspension mods

Consistency is the key for long tire life. When you rotate and balance your tires, you’re not just taking care of the rubber, you’re taking care of the parts that rely on them. For instance, if you raise your truck, or install a new suspension system, you’ll want to come back to your fitment settings to make sure everything is still good-to-go.

When to Change the Tires on Your F150

Look for These Signs

Time for new tires if:

• Tread depth under 2/32″

• Visible sidewall cracks

• Uneven wear patterns

• More than 6 years old

Measure tread depth with the “penny test”. Insert a penny into the tread, with Lincoln’s head turned downward. If you can see the top of his head, time to replace.

Ask a dealer: “What if I upgrade will they fit? Even replacement tires should still match the specs, especially if you’re thinking about a different brand or feel.

Warranty and Care for Your Tires

Protect Your Investment

Check tire registration and read warranty fine print. Most tire brands offer:

• 50K-70K Mile Tread Warranties

• Road hazard protection

Keep straight, and turn on the count. These steps can also help answer “Will he fit long term?” Frequent checks may help in early detection of misfit or damage from an improper size. Oil changes are also a matter of long-term care for your property, not just performance.
