When To Replace Tires
The two things that affect F-250 tires are time and mileage. The compounds in heavy-duty truck tires naturally break down over time, regardless of how often they’re hauling loads to the job site. While mileage provides a general indication of wear from those tough work conditions, neither time nor mileage alone accurately predicts a tire’s usability. This is because factors such as proper storage and maintenance can significantly impact how long your work truck’s tires will last. Most commercial-grade tires are manufactured to withstand at least five years of normal service conditions, including regular hauling and job site use. If your F-250’s tires are older than 5 years, regardless of how they look, it’s time to consider replacements to maintain optimal performance and safety on demanding work sites.
How To Read F-250 Tires
Reading the sidewall and understand tire sizing options can seem difficult at first. Once you learn the basics of what these numbers and markings mean, it becomes much simpler. Oftentimes original equipment tires use standard sizing designations, such as 275/75R17. However, when upgrading tires, especially for the Ford F-150, you may come across flotation sizing designations. These will typically read as 37×12.50×20.
FAQ
How often should F-250 tires be rotated?
Most tire manufacturers will give a suggested rotation interval. The OEM tire rotation interval for the Ford F-150 is 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Regularly rotating your tires is a great way to extend the life of your tires. Learn more about proper off-road tire rotation.
What are the best tires for the Ford F-250?
The F-250 is a purpose-built work truck. The best tires heavily depend on your driving style, temperature, and weather. For example, a driver who often drives on unpaved or off-road situations would require a different tire than a driver who only uses their truck for commuting.
What is the best tire pressure?
There is no one answer to this question. Every truck and every tire require a different tire pressure. The best way to find what tire pressure is required is to check the driver's side door for a label that displays the recommended tire pressure for that vehicle. It's important to note that this recommendation changes depending on the load of passengers, as well a cargo load. Learn more about light truck load ratings.
How long do F-250 tires last?
Every tire has a UTQG rating that provides information regarding number of miles the tire is expected to last. However, this number is an estimate. How you drive your vehicle has a big impact on the life expectancy of a tire.
Are Off-Road Tires Beneficial?
As stated above, the way you plan on driving your Ford truck will help you make a better decision on what tires to choose. If off-roading and driving on unpaved roads is a normal occurrence, then dedicated off-road tires may be beneficial.
