The Ford F-150 Raptor R is the supercharged V8 version of the Raptor, Ford's answer to the Ram TRX. It uses 37-inch tires and the widest fenders in the F-150 lineup. Tire selection has to match that performance spec. Standard tires won't handle the Raptor R's weight, suspension travel, and power output.
Raptor R tire sizes
The F-150 Raptor R uses 37x12.50R17LT on 17-inch wheels, with beadlock-capable wheels available. The OEM tire is the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, a specific 37-inch LT-rated AT chosen by Ford for validated Raptor performance.
The 37-inch LT sizing is mandatory. P-metric tires can't substitute. Every replacement must be an LT tire in 37x12.50R17 with a load rating that matches or exceeds the factory spec.
Best tires for the Raptor R
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (37x12.50R17LT): the factory OEM tire on the Raptor R. Ford specifically chose the KO2 for Raptor performance validation. Outstanding all-terrain capability, a 50,000-mile warranty for an AT, and one of the most proven off-road tires available. The definitive replacement.
Toyo Open Country ATIII (37x12.50R17LT): the top alternative AT for Raptor R owners. Excellent off-road performance, strong tread life, and somewhat quieter on the highway than the KO2.
Nitto Trail Grappler MT (37x12.50R17LT): for Raptor R owners who want maximum off-road performance and use the truck hard. More aggressive tread than the KO2, better mud and rock performance, and more road noise.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the F-150 Raptor R use?
37x12.50R17LT on 17-inch wheels (beadlock-capable wheels available). OEM: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2.
How much do Raptor R tires cost?
37x12.50R17LT: $300 to $470 per tire. A full set of four installed runs $1,200 to $1,880.
How do I know when my Raptor R needs new tires?
Check the tread with a penny, but on an off-road truck also inspect for chunking, cuts, and sidewall damage after hard use. If the highway ride has gotten noticeably louder or wanders more, the aggressive tread is wearing down. How you drive it, street versus trail, decides how fast that happens.
Should I keep the same tire type when I replace my Raptor R tires?
It depends on how you actually use the truck. Staying with the factory-style all-terrain keeps the balance Ford tuned it for, which suits mixed street and trail driving. If you mostly wheel hard in mud and rock, a more aggressive tire makes sense, with the trade-off of more road noise and faster highway wear. An off-road shop can match the tread to your use.
