It uses FOX Live Valve shocks, front and rear locking differentials, and OEM BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires on 17-inch wheels — beadlock-capable wheels are optional.
Ranger Raptor tire sizes
The 2024 Ranger Raptor uses LT285/70R17 on 17-inch alloy wheels, with beadlock-capable wheels optional. The OEM tire is the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 — Ford's performance-validated choice for Raptor off-road use.
Best tires for the Ranger Raptor
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (285/70R17LT) — the factory OEM tire and the best replacement. Ford's choice for Raptor performance. The KO3 is proven on challenging terrain across every condition. Best all-around recommendation for Ranger Raptor owners.
Toyo Open Country ATIII (285/70R17LT) — strong KO3 alternative. Available in 285/70R17LT. Excellent off-road traction, improved highway comfort vs the KO3. Top choice for Ranger Raptor owners who mix off-road with long highway drives.
Nitto Ridge Grappler (285/70R17LT) — hybrid MT/AT for Ranger Raptor owners who go harder off-road than a standard AT handles. Available in 285/70R17LT. More aggressive than the KO3 while quieter than a full MT.

Matching Ranger Raptor tires to how you use it
The Ranger Raptor is built to be driven hard off-road, and the right tire depends on whether you actually use that capability. If you're running trails, gravel, and high-speed dirt, a rugged all-terrain with tough sidewalls earns its keep and keeps up with what the truck can take. If yours mostly commutes around West Georgia with the occasional weekend adventure, a more highway-friendly all-terrain rides quieter and lasts longer without giving up much off the pavement. Either way, keep the load rating and size your door jamb calls for, since this truck is heavy and works its tires hard. When you're weighing off-road grip against on-road comfort, a local shop that knows trucks can help you pick the tire that fits your real driving.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the Ford Ranger Raptor use?
LT285/70R17 on 17-inch wheels (beadlock-capable wheels optional). OEM: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3.
How much do Ford Ranger Raptor tires cost?
285/70R17LT: $200 to $330 per tire. A full set of four installed runs $800 to $1,320.
Should I stick with the factory off-road tires on my Ranger Raptor?
If you actually run trails, sand, and high-speed dirt, the factory-validated off-road tire is there for a reason and worth keeping. If your Raptor mostly sees pavement, you have room to pick a quieter, smoother all-terrain, just keep the load and size your door jamb calls for. A shop can match it either way.
Are Ranger Raptor tires expensive to replace?
They cost more than a standard mid-size truck tire because of the size and the tough off-road build. That's the trade for what the truck can do. Get a local quote for your exact fitment rather than trusting a national site's number, which usually leaves out mounting and balancing.
