How much you love or hate these tires is highly dependent on the amount of time you spend on vs. off road. On dirt or mud, at least on a Ranger Raptor, they come alive inspiring tremendous confidence on loose surfaces at speed. But that confidence evaporates the moment you return to tarmac. Wet braking is particularly bad and frankly, when new, downright dangerous. After 2-3K miles they become a bit grippier in the wet, but never do they inspire confidence. In short, if your spending a lot of time hooning it on logging roads, you'll likely be satisfied, but otherwise Id look elsewhere.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Ford Ranger Raptor drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
After 60.000kms in a ranger raptor i can assure that this tire has been brilliant in every single way.
-Quiet cant hear any noise even with low tread
-Wet roads and low temperature roads not an issue at all and proven that can be trusted
-Ice / Snow do the job without missing a beat
But the most astonishing review is that with 60.000 kms low treat did off road trails with a group of 4x4’s with MT fitted (was the only one with AT ) via mud rock and so one and they were super impressive to the point that everyone was amazed how I didnt got stuck

These are the OE tires on a Ranger Raptor. Wear has been surprisingly good, and they're very good in snow.
I did 45000 miles on them. Came with my ranger raptor 1st generation. First 20 000 miles economy was good it average around 9,5 l/100 km. They were good on snow. Wet traction was ok, but you have to be careful. Last 25000 miles
Economy got higher around 11 l/100km. Snow grip is ok, but if you get on ice it's nightmare.
