Choosing tires for your Ford F-150
Fitment is the starting point, not the answer. Match the size, load index and speed rating on your door placard, then pick the category that matches your climate — summer, all-season, or winter. Wet braking is the discipline with the largest real-world safety spread between tires in the same size, which is why it is weighted most heavily in our rankings.
