Ford Ranger Tire Guide
Tire Sizes, Types & Replacement Guide for Every Ranger Trim
Ford Ranger Tire Sizes by Trim
The Ford Ranger is a midsize truck built for both work and adventure, and the right tires make a significant difference in capability. From the base XL's highway tires to the Raptor's aggressive 33-inch all-terrain rubber, each Ranger trim has specific tire requirements based on its intended use.
| Trim / Wheel Size | Tire Size | Tire Type |
|---|---|---|
| XL / XLT (17-inch) | 255/65R17 | All-Season |
| Lariat (18-inch) | 255/65R18 | All-Season |
| Tremor (17-inch) | 265/70R17 A/T | All-Terrain (LT) |
| Raptor (17-inch) | 285/70R17 A/T | All-Terrain (LT) |

Tire Tips for Your Ranger
- The Ranger Raptor's 285/70R17 is the same size as the Bronco Badlands — tire shopping between these vehicles is interchangeable
- Tremor owners looking for more aggressive traction can move up to a 285/70R17 without modifications
- LT-rated tires on the Tremor and Raptor offer stronger sidewalls for off-road protection but ride slightly firmer on pavement
- If you use your Ranger for towing, consider load range D or E tires for added weight capacity and heat resistance
- Tire rotation every 5,000-7,500 miles is critical, especially on 4WD Rangers where front and rear wear patterns differ
