F150 Raptor is the toughest, smartest, most capable truck\u00a0ever! \u00a0It gets a specially developed set of tires so F150 Raptor sticks to trails.

How F150 Raptor Sticks to Trails<\/h2>\n

F150 Raptor engineers went through more than a dozen variations to ensure the truck sticks to trails. \u00a0Eventually they found the right match under\u00a0the extreme performance expected from Raptor. \u00a0 After hundreds of hours were spent using computer simulations, Ford and BFGoodrich put the new\u00a0all-terrain T\/A KO2 tires to real word testing. \u00a0The result is a tire that enhances off-road performance and improve wear life.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Raptor\u2019s all-new BFGoodrich all-terrain T\/A KO2 tires were developed in parallel with the truck\u2019s chassis, so as the platform developed, the tires changed along with it. \u00a0A new tread pattern features an optimized contact patch with more tread area, wide channels between the tread, and large sidewall lugs to enhance off-road performance and improve wear life. Strong steel and nylon belts enable the tires to conform better to the road to make the truck more comfortable on the street.<\/p>\n

To showcase how capable these tires are, Ford uses them on its Raptor race truck in the Best in the Desert race series. See more about\u00a0the race truck here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ford is working with Michelin to develop tires across the Ford Performance lineup, including Focus RS, Shelby GT350 and the all-new Ford GT supercar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
