Ford F-250 Super Duty Spare Tire

The Ford F-250 Super Duty is equipped with a spare tire as a standard component for emergencies on the road. The purpose of this spare tire is to serve as a replacement for one of the vehicle's regular tires if it gets a flat, becomes punctured, or suffers from any other issue that renders it unusable. Typically, the F-250 Super Duty's spare tire is a full-size spare, including the heavy-duty models; this makes it differ from some vehicles that offer compact 'donut' spare tires. As it's full-size, it's the same size as the rest of the tires on the vehicle; in most F-250 Super Duty models, the standard tire size is LT245/75R17E, relating to its width, aspect ratio, construction type ('Radial'), and diameter in inches, respectively. However, tire sizes can vary based on the trim level and whether the truck is a regular, super cab, or crew cab model. Hence, it's always recommended to check the owner's manual to find out the exact specifications for the spare tire and its location.

Ford F-250 Super Duty models manufactured from 1999 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 31.5" to 34.8", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Ford F-250 Super Duty years and trims.

Based on tire and vehicle specs, using a traditional full-size tire as a spare is recommended for all Ford F-250 Super Duty applications.
