The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America, and it comes in more configurations than almost any other truck. The right tire depends on your trim, your lift height, and whether you tow, trail, or mostly commute. Here are the best options by use case.
Common F-150 tire sizes
The F-150 uses different OEM tire sizes across its trim levels. Common sizes include: 265/70R17 (XL/XLT), 275/65R18 (higher trims), 275/60R20 on 2021+ trucks with 20-inch wheels (2015-2020 used 275/55R20), and 315/70R17 (Raptor). The size on your current tires and the placard inside the driver's door are your starting point.
Many owners upgrade to a larger size — 275/70R18 or 285/65R18 are popular upgrades for the 18-inch platform without requiring a lift. Going to 35-inch tires (usually 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17) typically requires a 2.5–3" lift and potentially a leveling kit.
Best highway and all-season tires
Michelin Defender LTX M/S: the top choice for F-150 owners who prioritize long life and quiet ride on the highway. Exceptional tread life (often 70,000+ miles), low road noise, and excellent wet performance. Available in most F-150 sizes.
Continental TerrainContact H/T: strong wet weather performance, good highway manners, and available in a wide range of F-150 sizes. A solid alternative to the Defender LTX.
Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus: premium highway tire with an 80,000-mile warranty on most sizes and very low noise — good for F-150 owners who want comfort above everything else.

Best all-terrain tires
BF Goodrich KO2: the benchmark all-terrain tire. Exceptional off-road capability, strong sidewalls for debris resistance, 3PMSF winter rating, and proven durability. Available in virtually every F-150 size including Raptor fitments. The most popular A/T choice for F-150 owners in rural markets.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W: excellent wet weather and snow performance with the 3PMSF rating, strong off-road grip, and typically $30–60 per tire less expensive than the KO2. A strong value pick.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT: Cooper's highly regarded A/T with the 3PMSF rating, good sidewall strength, and wide size availability. A legitimate alternative to the KO2 at a lower price point.
Best mud-terrain tires
Toyo Open Country M/T: arguably the most popular mud-terrain tire for F-150 owners. Excellent deep mud and rock traction, aggressive sidewall lug pattern for aired-down driving, and better-than-average on-road manners for an M/T.
Nitto Trail Grappler M/T: a blend of A/T and M/T characteristics — serious off-road capability with better road manners and less road noise than pure M/T tires. Good for F-150 owners who genuinely off-road but still spend time on highway.
BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3: BFG's flagship M/T with excellent rock crawling grip and the brand's proven durability track record.
F-150 in West Georgia
The F-150 is one of the most common vehicles on West Georgia roads. Shops in Carroll, Douglas, Paulding, and surrounding counties routinely stock and install the most popular F-150 sizes, and BF Goodrich KO2, Falken Wildpeak AT3W, and Michelin Defender LTX are almost always available locally or on short order.
For lifted F-150s with non-standard sizes (35-inch or larger), call ahead. Some sizes may need to be ordered. Off-road shops in the area that specialize in truck builds are the right destination for oversized fitments and the alignment work that comes with them.

Frequently asked
How much do F-150 tires cost?
Expect $120–200 per tire for a quality all-season in common F-150 sizes, mounted and balanced. A/T tires run $150–250 per tire. M/T tires in standard sizes are $180–300 per tire. Lifted F-150s with 35-inch or larger tires pay more — $200–350+ per tire in those sizes.
Do I need a lift to fit 33-inch tires on my F-150?
On a stock F-150, 33-inch tires (typically 285/70R17 or 275/70R18) fit on most model years with no modification, or with a simple leveling kit for clearance. True 35-inch tires (315/70R17) typically require a 2.5–3-inch lift and may need minor trimming depending on the year.
What is the best tire for an F-150 that mostly tows?
For heavy towing: prioritize load range and highway stability over off-road capability. The Michelin Defender LTX in Load Range E, or the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A, are excellent towing tires with high load ratings and stable highway handling under heavy trailer loads.
