The Ford Maverick is the most fuel-efficient truck sold in North America — a hybrid FWD unibody compact. Its tire needs differ from body-on-frame trucks: the hybrid variant benefits from low rolling resistance tires, and even the FX4 Off-Road package is designed for light off-road rather than rock crawling.
Common Ford Maverick tire sizes
Ford Maverick (2022-current): 225/65R17 (XL Hybrid FWD, XLT, LARIAT), 235/65R17 (Tremor), 225/60R18 (XLT, LARIAT 18-inch package).
FX4 Off-Road package: adds all-terrain tires in the standard trim size — usually 225/65R17 or 235/65R17.
The 225/65R17 is the dominant size for standard Maverick trims.

How to choose Maverick tires for West Georgia driving
Start with how you actually use the truck. If it's a hybrid commuter running I-20 and errands around Carrollton, a low-rolling-resistance all-season protects the fuel economy that made you buy a Maverick in the first place. Grab a mainstream all-weather with the 3PMSF snowflake and you cover the occasional cold morning without giving up much mileage.
Owners who point an off-road-trim Maverick toward the north Georgia hills or onto red-clay county roads get more from a light all-terrain. It's the one upgrade worth paying for if you leave pavement often. Check the door-jamb sticker or the size chart above for your exact fitment, then let a local shop confirm which tread fits your wheel and matches the miles you actually drive.

Frequently asked
How much do Ford Maverick tires cost?
225/65R17: $105–145 per tire. 235/65R17: $115–160 per tire. A set of four installed: $420–580.
Do I need all-terrain tires on a Ford Maverick?
Only if you actually leave the pavement. The hybrid FWD Maverick is happiest on an efficient all-season, and the AWD trims do fine on a good touring tire for daily driving. Save the all-terrain for owners who hit gravel, campsites, and light trails, since the extra grip brings a little more road noise and a small fuel-economy hit on a truck built to sip gas.
How do I know when my Maverick needs new tires?
Do the penny test in a few grooves, and look for wear bars sitting flush with the tread, cracks in the sidewall, or a new hum at highway speed. Any of those means it's time. If you're not sure, most shops will take a quick look for free and tell you honestly how much life is left.
Should I replace all four Maverick tires at once?
On the AWD Maverick, yes, since mismatched tread depths can stress the all-wheel-drive system. On the FWD hybrid you can get by with a pair in a pinch, but put the newer tires on the rear and match the same model. When only one is damaged, a shop can tell you whether the others have enough life left to keep.
Where can I get Maverick tires installed near me in West Georgia?
We match you with trusted independent tire shops around Carrollton and the wider West Georgia area for free. Tell us your size and how you use the truck, and we'll point you to a shop that stocks the right tire and won't upsell you into more than you need.
