Ford Ranger Raptor 2023 road tyre

[Ja56]

Hi
My father just ordered 2023 Raptor which will replace his 3.2 2016 Ranger soon.

I've been looking for road tyres as he won't go anymore is mud or off-road lands.
Unfortunately, in 285/70/R17 there is no road tyre.

Does narrower tyre exist whithout changing the wheel?

Then, did someone already have another wheel set with road tyre?

Thanks

There's another thread on here with some discussions of options.

I swapped mine out for General Grabber AT3 in the same size as stock. They are worlds better than the KO2s that came with it. More quiet, softer ride, heaps of grip in the dry and wet. However, if you like drifting in the wet, nothing beats the no grip KO2s ?

All the ones I have seen so far have the KO2 BFGoodrich tires. I would be surprised if they change the brand and model for the European market. Maybe there will be a switch to the KO3 as the North American ones apparently are getting those, but it would surprise me as I believe changing tires requires new certifications for the cars due to noise and fuel economy regulations.

The previous gen Ranger Raptors did get the General Grabber AT3 tires for one year as BFGoodrich had supply chain issues. So you might be able to find some used ones online.
