Whether you’ve had your Ford Ranger for many years already or you’ve just purchased one, one key and influential aspect of your vehicle is the tyres. They’re the one part of your vehicle that should always be in contact with the ground, but some people also like to change the tyres on their Ford Ranger to fit their desired look.
From the seasoned pros to the uninitiated in the off-roading world, tyres are such an important aspect of your driving. That’s why this month, we’re going to look closer at Ford Ranger tyres to help you get the right product for your vehicle and the way you use it.
Why are Ford Ranger tyres important?
It should be pretty obvious why tyres are so important on Ford Rangers - and all vehicles - since they're responsible for the handling and performance of your driving (more on that later). Choosing the right tyre will not only give you the look you want, but will also improve a few other things as well, including:
- The comfort of your drive
- Your safety across different terrain
- The transmission of braking and acceleration
- The performance of your steering
The different types of Ford Ranger tyres
As we’ve already alluded to, you have a number of different options available to you when it comes to Ford Ranger tyres. Not only can you change the size of your tyres, but you can also change which style you have to suit the conditions. For example, in the cold winter months, it’s recommended you switch to winter tyres, while summer tyres are more suitable during warmer, drier weather. You can also switch to rugged tyres to enhance your off-roading capabilities.
At Milner Off Road, we supply a full range of tyres sizes for Ford Rangers, including:
What impact do they have on performance?
The tyres you select for your Ford Ranger will have an impact on your vehicle in several ways, including:
- Fuel efficiency - having the best quality tyres for your driving style can help save you a lot of money at the pump.
- Ground clearance - the bigger the tyre, the greater the distance between the ground and your vehicle, allowing you to clear more obstacles, such as rocks.
- Off-roading capabilities - larger tyres with deep treads can help with loose or uneven terrain, giving you better grip while off-roading.
- Handling and steering - the larger your tyre, the more contact it has with the ground, giving you a more stable drive and better cornering. However, go too large and you’ll lose that handling performance due to a shift in the centre of gravity for your vehicle.
