265/65/18 - Stock height 2026 Ranger Lariat FX4???

[Rogger_53]

Hi All,
I can't find ANY!!! decent AT tires in the OE size that came on my 2026 Ranger Lariat FX4. The only ones here in Canada are the Goodyear Territory AT that came on it.. The rest listed in this size are all Highway/3 season tires.

I was looking at going with the 265/65/18 instead, which is the next size up in width to allow me a much larger selection of AT tires.
I was specifically looking at the Falken Wildpeak AT4W, or the Toyo Open Country AT3 in the 265/65/18.

Any experience fitting these on the truck? Any rubbing at full lock?
I really don't want to modify suspension (Lift or Level) so was hoping this would be a viable option.

Will the 265/65/18 fit, or is there a better size that will without rubbing or requiring any modification/trimming?

Thank you.

From what I've seen, I believe you can go up even more to 265/70/18 and still not rub.

I have had 265/65/18 tires on mine for two years now with zero issues:

I'm also looking at upgrading my stock tires on my 2025 Lariat FX4 without any lifts. How are your Duratrac RTs holding up after a couple of years? Glad they fit at that size. Would you still recommend them? I like the fact it has 3 ply sidewalls which would make me feel better on forest roads and trails with the occasional sharp rocks and ruts.

Excellent tires - highly recommended.
Buy with confidence.

There are a number of trail terrain tires equivalent or better than the stock 255/65 r18 goodyears.

falken, Goodrich, Toyo, nitto, Yokohama have offerings to name a few

apparently there is now a ko3 lt255/65 r18 available

also the the bfg trail terrain + is new. Supposedly better wet grip and efficiency.

i think for heavy off-road use, I might consider going r17 Rims. A set of bronco takeoffs seems pretty easy to find.
