Best Tires for the Ford F-150: A Fitment Guide by Driving Style

The Ford F-150 rolls off the lot in a dozen configurations, each wearing a different tire size, and what works for a Platinum owner cruising the interstate has almost nothing in common with what an XL fleet truck needs on a job site. This guide matches your F-150 to the right tire category based on how you actually drive (not just what came from the factory). Four driving styles, four tire categories, every factory size covered, with Atturo options mapped to each one.

What Came on Your F-150

Every tire replacement starts with the same question: what size is on there now? The Ford F-150 (2015 and newer) uses four wheel diameter tiers, each tied to specific trim levels. Your factory size is printed on the tire sidewall and on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb.

17-inch (XL, SSV, base work trucks): 245/70R17 or 265/70R17. The workhorse sizes. Narrower 245 on base XL, wider 265 on most 4x4 configurations. LT265/70R17 with all-terrain tread available on XL and XLT Off-Road packages.

18-inch (XLT, Lariat, STX, Tremor): 265/60R18 or 275/65R18. The volume sizes (and this is where most F-150 owners land). XLT standard, Lariat standard, Tremor with beefier sidewall options.

20-inch (King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, STX 20" option): 275/55R20 or 275/60R20. The premium highway sizes. Taller 275/60R20 on King Ranch and Platinum, slightly lower profile 275/55R20 on sport-oriented packages.

22-inch (Lariat, Platinum, King Ranch factory options): 275/45R22, 275/50R22, or 285/45R22. The street-presence sizes. Lower sidewall, sharper handling, more road feel.

Quick note on Raptor: the Raptor runs LT315/70R17 or 37x12.50R17 from the factory. That is a different animal entirely, covered in the aftermarket/lifted guide.

Four Categories, Four Driving Styles

The tire that came on your F-150 was chosen by Ford to satisfy the broadest possible range of drivers for that trim level. That is a compromise by definition. Choosing your replacement based on how you drive (not how Ford imagined the average buyer) is how you get the tire that actually fits your life. Four categories, each one designed for a different reality.

Highway and Touring: The Quiet Commuter

This is the category for drivers who measure tire quality in cabin silence and miles per tank. Long interstate hauls. School runs. Airport drives. The F-150 that spends 95% of its life on pavement and wants to feel like a luxury SUV doing it. If your truck rarely sees anything rougher than a wet parking lot, this is where you belong.

The tire world splits this category into two: all-season and all-weather. All-season compounds stiffen below roughly 45°F (7°C), which means traction drops on cold roads, snow, and ice. All-weather compounds stay flexible in freezing temperatures and carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) certification, meaning they passed a standardized traction test on packed snow. Same quiet ride, fundamentally different cold-weather capability.

Atturo in this category:

The Trail Blade H/T is an all-weather highway tire with 3PMS certification, UTQG 600 A A, 60,000-mile warranty, and 12/32" tread depth on passenger sizes (14.5/32" on LT). Available in 275/55R20, 275/60R20, 265/65R18, 265/70R17, 285/45R22, and 275/50R22, covering every premium F-150 OE size. Launched at SEMA 2024, it is the newest member of the Trail Blade family. SimpleTire reviews are early but positive. Third-party reviewers have highlighted the 3PMS certification as a meaningful differentiator versus many other highway tires in this price range.

The AZ610 is an all-season touring tire with a 60,000-mile warranty, UTQG 560 A A, and a design focused on low road noise and smooth highway feel. The AZ610 holds a 4.1 average rating across 150+ reviews on SimpleTire.

"The noise reduction in my car's cabin is extremely welcome. The tires grip the road surface in both wet and dry conditions. They drive very well at highway speeds."

— SimpleTire verified buyer, SimpleTire

The AZ600 fills the all-season performance touring slot with the same 60,000-mile warranty, UTQG 560 A A, and sizes covering 275/60R20, 275/65R18, and 285/45R22.

For 22-inch F-150 owners who want all-weather performance with a sportier edge, the AZ810 carries 3PMS certification, a 45,000-mile warranty, and W-speed-rated handling. Available in 275/45R22 for F-150 fitment. The AZ810 was engineered to include electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, delivering confident braking and precision handling in wet, dry, and snowy conditions.

The honest limitation: all-season tires (AZ610, AZ600) carry only the M+S marking, which is a self-certification based on tread geometry, not a performance test. When real winter arrives, they lose grip. Multiple AZ610 owners on SimpleTire confirm: even 1 inch of snow exposes the category's limits. If your F-150 sees real winter driving, the Trail Blade H/T in the same size adds 3PMS snow certification at nearly identical pricing. That is the upgrade that matters.

All-Terrain: The Weekday Commuter, Weekend Explorer

This is the F-150 that earns its keep. Gravel roads to a job site on Monday. A fire road to a campsite on Saturday. Enough pavement in between to care about road noise and tread life, but enough dirt to need real off-road grip when conditions get loose. The all-terrain category lives in that middle ground, and for most F-150 owners who actually use their truck as a truck, this is the sweet spot.

All-terrain tires trade a small amount of highway quietness for deeper tread, wider channels, and more aggressive shoulder blocks. The better ones (and both Atturo options qualify) also carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, which means they handle snow well enough to replace a dedicated winter tire for most drivers.

Atturo in this category:

The Trail Blade ATS carries a 50,000-mile warranty, aggressive styling with a Quartermaster Knives-inspired sidewall, and 3PMS certification. Available in popular F-150 sizes including 265/60R18, 265/65R18, 275/60R20, and LT sizes with 10-ply and 12-ply construction. The ATS holds a 4.8 average rating across 55+ reviews on SimpleTire and strong marks on Walmart. TireDriver highlighted its responsive steering design, noting that the ATS maintains strong balance between oversteering and understeering on tight corners. TireTerrain praised its wet-weather engineering, calling its connected lateral groove design better than most premium brands at flushing water.

"Great tire for the money so far. Expected to be noisy, however after about 5K they have quieted a bit. Ride just like the Falken Wild Peaks I last had on. Super traction in mud, gravel, and rain."

— Walmart verified buyer, Walmart

The Trail Blade A/T offers a 50,000-mile warranty, 3PMS certification across all sizes, and a more traditional all-terrain tread pattern. The A/T holds a 4.4 average rating across 580+ reviews on SimpleTire. TireDeets praised its gravel and dirt performance, calling it "very responsive, especially on faster sections." One fleet operator on SimpleTire reported 50,000 miles on a set with tread still remaining.

"I purchase them for all of my work trucks. It's a great all around tire. Good tires for the price. I drive 30K+ miles a year for my business and it's good to have cheap tires that also keep their treads."

— SimpleTire verified buyer, SimpleTire

All-Weather: One Set, Twelve Months, Zero Swaps

This category exists for a specific driver: someone who needs winter capability but refuses to deal with the hassle of seasonal tire swaps. Buy one set. Mount them once. Drive January through December. The key is the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol on the sidewall, which certifies the tire passed ASTM F1805, a traction test on packed snow. Every tire in this section carries it.

In states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado, and across Canada, this is the practical choice. The compound stays pliable in freezing temperatures while still performing on a 90°F July highway. Dedicated winter tires outperform all-weather in extreme cold (below 0°F) and on ice, but all-weather tires eliminate the cost, storage, and scheduling of a seasonal swap (typically $60 to $120 per swap, twice a year). For most F-150 owners who tow through winter or commute through snow belt states, that trade-off makes sense.

Atturo in this category:

The Trail Blade H/T (covered above) doubles as a 3PMS-certified all-weather highway tire. The Trail Blade ATS and Trail Blade A/T (covered in the All-Terrain section) both carry 3PMS certification and are designed for year-round use, making them strong all-weather choices for F-150 owners who want one set of tires through every season.

Mud-Terrain and Extreme Off-Road: Built for the Trail

This is where the F-150 stops pretending to be a commuter. Deep tread voids that self-clean in mud. Staggered shoulder blocks that bite into loose soil. 10-ply LT construction that shrugs off rocks. If your F-150 regularly sees conditions where the pavement ends and the trail begins, this is the category. A reality check: mud-terrain tires are louder on the highway, wear faster on pavement, and ride firmer than any other category. That is the trade-off. Every inch of off-road grip costs something in daily comfort.

Atturo in this category:

The Trail Blade X/T bridges the gap between all-terrain and mud-terrain with a 45,000-mile warranty and sizes from 265/50R20 through 35x12.50R20LT. The X/T holds a 4.6 average across 390+ reviews on SimpleTire. TireReviewsAndMore praised its off-road capability, concluding that "unless you're a hardcore off-roader, you can't help but be impressed with its overall abilities." Atturo's own F-150 fitment guide features an owner who described the X/T as "always game for wet fields and unimproved roads, yet tame enough for highway commutes."

"We have bought two sets of these tires for two different vehicles. Both trucks and they have been great. First set over a year old and we live in the Midwest so they have been through every season and have been great in all weather conditions."

— Walmart verified buyer, Walmart

The Trail Blade M/T goes deeper into mud-terrain territory. The M/T holds a 4.3 average across 195+ reviews on SimpleTire. Available in LT275/65R18, LT275/70R18, and flotation sizes from 33" to 37". The Trail Blade MTS is the newest mud-terrain addition with a 4.5 average across 19 reviews on SimpleTire.

The Size Your F-150 Came With vs. The Size You Actually Need

Most F-150 owners replace their tires with the same size and same category that came on the truck. That works. But it is also the moment where most drivers miss an opportunity to fix the one thing their factory tires got wrong.

Example: your Platinum came with 275/60R20 highway tires. Smooth ride, quiet cabin, everything Ford promised. Then winter arrives and you are hauling a trailer through Wisconsin on rubber that stiffens in cold and has no snow certification. Same size, different category (all-weather instead of all-season) changes the experience entirely. The Trail Blade H/T in 275/60R20 fits the same wheel, loads the same weight, and adds 3PMS snow certification plus 2/32" deeper tread. The price? Just $3.90 more per tire than the AZ600 in the same size ($200.10 vs $196.20). More capability for roughly the same money. That is the kind of upgrade that pays for itself.

Another example: your XLT came with 265/60R18 all-season tires. They wore evenly for 40,000 miles. But you started a side business that puts you on gravel twice a week, and wet-weather traction matters more now than highway silence. The Trail Blade ATS in 265/60R18 fits identically, adds 3PMS certification and 5/32" more tread depth. The ride is slightly firmer (that is the all-terrain trade-off), but the grip on loose surfaces is in a different league.

The rule of thumb: if your driving conditions changed since your last tire purchase, your tire category should change too. The size stays the same. The compound, the tread pattern, and the certification change. That is where the real upgrade lives.

For lifted trucks, oversized wheels, and aftermarket fitments (33", 35", 37", offset wheels, leveling kits), a dedicated guide is in development covering what fits with and without trimming, ride trade-offs, and Atturo options in flotation sizes across the Trail Blade lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size tires does the Ford F-150 use?
The F-150 (2015 and newer) uses tire sizes ranging from 245/70R17 on base XL models to 285/45R22 on premium packages. The most common sizes are 265/60R18 (XLT standard), 275/65R18 (Lariat standard), and 275/60R20 (King Ranch, Platinum, Limited). The Raptor uses LT315/70R17 or 37x12.50R17. Your exact size is printed on the tire sidewall and on the driver's door jamb sticker. atturo.com/sizing

Can I put all-terrain tires on my F-150 Platinum?
Yes. The Platinum typically runs 275/55R20 or 275/60R20, and multiple all-terrain options fit those sizes. The ride will be firmer and slightly louder than the factory highway tires. The Trail Blade ATS in 275/60R20 is a popular choice that balances aggressive styling with reasonable road noise. simpletire.com/brands/atturo-tires/trail-blade-ats/reviews

What is the best all-weather tire for the F-150?
An all-weather tire carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) symbol, meaning it passed a traction test on packed snow. For the F-150, the Trail Blade H/T is available in most OE sizes from 17" to 22" and carries a 60,000-mile warranty. The Trail Blade ATS and Trail Blade A/T also carry 3PMS certification and work as year-round all-weather options. atturo.com/product/trail-blade-ht | simpletire.com/brands/atturo-tires/trail-blade-h-t/reviews

Does the F-150 need LT or P-metric tires?
It depends on your use. Base XL work trucks often come with LT (Light Truck) tires rated for heavier loads and towing. Higher trims come with P-metric (passenger) tires that prioritize ride comfort. If you regularly tow, haul heavy payloads, or carry commercial loads, LT tires with 10-ply construction handle the stress better and resist sidewall damage. Atturo offers both P-metric and LT variants across most F-150 sizes.

What is the difference between 275/55R20 and 275/60R20?
Both are 275mm wide on a 20-inch wheel. The difference is sidewall height. The 275/60R20 has a taller sidewall (60% of 275mm = 165mm) versus the 275/55R20 (55% of 275mm = 151.25mm). The taller sidewall absorbs more road imperfections and provides a slightly cushier ride. The shorter sidewall offers more responsive handling and a sportier feel. Overall diameter differs by about 1 inch. Both sizes have full Atturo coverage across all categories.

Can I run 22-inch tires on my F-150?
Yes, if your F-150 came with a factory 22-inch option or you are running 22-inch aftermarket wheels with the correct bolt pattern (6x135mm, 2015+) and offset. Factory 22-inch sizes include 275/45R22, 275/50R22, and 285/45R22. Atturo covers all three with options from the Trail Blade H/T (all-weather highway) to the AZ810 (all-weather performance) to the Trail Blade X/T (rugged terrain). atturo.com/sizing

Are Atturo tires good for the F-150?
