Best Tires for Ford F-150 Raptor

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

The F-150 Raptor is not a cosmetic off-road appearance package — it is a genuine performance off-road truck with Fox suspension, 35-inch tires from the factory, and (in the Raptor R) a 700+ horsepower supercharged V8. Its tire requirements are as demanding as the truck itself.

Ford F-150 Raptor tire sizes

Standard Raptor (2021-current): 315/70R17 — a 35-inch-class tire (34.4 inches actual) on 17-inch wheels.

Raptor R (2023-current): 37x12.50R17 — the 37-inch tire comes standard on the R, where it's an optional package on the standard Raptor.

37-inch Package (optional on standard Raptor): 37x12.50R17 — a wide, aggressive 37-inch fitment offered as a factory package.

The 315/70R17 is the core size for the standard Raptor; the Raptor R comes factory-equipped with the taller 37x12.50R17.

Best tires — Raptor (315/70R17)

BF Goodrich KO2 in LT315/70R17: the Raptor's longtime factory tire and the most popular replacement. Excellent off-road capability, proven trail durability, maintains the highway usability that a daily-driven Raptor needs. The OE-spec Load Range C version preserves the factory ride.

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar in 315/70R17: for Raptor owners who primarily use the truck for off-road and trail running — Kevlar-reinforced sidewall, strong rock and mud capability.

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in 315/70R17: a hybrid AT/MT that delivers serious off-road capability with better highway manners than a pure MT. Popular for Raptors used as daily drivers that see weekend trail use.

Frequently asked

How much do Ford Raptor tires cost?

315/70R17 Load Range C (factory spec): $190–285 per tire. 37x12.50R17 Load Range C (factory spec on the R and the 37-inch package): $215–310 per tire. A full set installed (315/70R17): $760–1,140.

Do I really need the load-rated off-road tires the Raptor came with?

If you drive it like a Raptor, with desert running, trails, and high-speed dirt, then yes, the heavy-duty construction is there for a reason and you shouldn't drop to a lighter tire. If yours mostly sees pavement you have more room to pick a smoother, quieter option, but keep the load rating your door jamb calls for. A shop can match it.

Are Raptor tires expensive to replace?

They run higher than a normal half-ton truck tire because of the size and the tough off-road construction. That's the price of what the truck is built to do. To avoid overpaying, get a local quote for your exact fitment instead of trusting a national site's total, which often skips install.

How often should I rotate my Raptor's tires?

Rotate on a regular schedule to keep the aggressive tread wearing evenly, and check pressure often, since off-road tires drop air and wear unevenly faster when neglected. A shop that knows trucks can set a rotation interval that fits how hard you use it, on-road versus off.
