Ford E-Transit Tire Guide
Tire Sizes, Types & Replacement Guide for Every E-Transit Configuration
Ford E-Transit Tire Sizes by Trim
The Ford E-Transit is an all-electric commercial van, and tires are critical to maximizing range, payload capacity, and fleet uptime. The E-Transit is heavier than the gas Transit due to its battery pack, which means tires must meet higher load ratings. EV-optimized commercial tires also help preserve the driving range that keeps your fleet productive.
| Trim / Wheel Size | Tire Size | Tire Type |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo Van (16-inch) | 235/65R16C | Commercial All-Season |
| Cutaway (16-inch) | 235/65R16C | Heavy-Duty Commercial |
Trim-Specific Tire Details
Cargo Van (16-inch)
Tire Size: 235/65R16C
Tire Type: Commercial All-Season
Standard 16-inch wheel on the Cargo Van. C-rated (commercial) tires required to handle payload. Look for low rolling resistance commercial tires to protect range.
Cutaway (16-inch)
Tire Size: 235/65R16C
Tire Type: Heavy-Duty Commercial
Same 16-inch size as Cargo Van. Cutaway chassis with body upfits may require higher load-rated tires depending on the completed vehicle weight.
Tire Tips for Your E-Transit
- The E-Transit weighs more than the gas Transit — verify the load index matches your specific configuration's GVWR, especially with upfits
- Low rolling resistance commercial tires can add 5-10 miles of range per charge — meaningful for daily delivery routes
- The E-Transit's uniform 16-inch tire size keeps fleet purchasing simple and inventory manageable
- Stop-and-go delivery routes with frequent regenerative braking are easier on brakes but still wear tires at normal rates
- Consider all-weather commercial tires (3PMSF rated) for year-round fleet operations in Western NC mountain conditions
- Fleet operators should track tire wear more closely on E-Transits than gas Transits due to the heavier curb weight
