My Maverick XLT on BFGoodrich KO2 245/65 Tires With White Lettering

[Jmsmith91]

The Maverick I ordered came in last Monday (10-11-21)!

The tires are BFGoodrich KO2 245/65 r17 with white lettering. They're slightly bigger than stock but by only about .75 of an inch overall diameter.

I've also taken the gamble and after watching tons of videos of the 2 inch level/lift from Fordrangerlifts and realized the Maverick is identical to the Bronco Sport as far as the lift is concerned. When the kit gets here and if it installs without issue I will let y'all know.

Sorry for the blood in the bed. My buddy got a deer this weekend lol.

Update with Q&A:

What size are they? What do MPGs look like? I'm seriously absolutely in love with how these look. I was unsure with what tires to get. I have Wildpeaks on my Jeep and I'm happy with them, but It looks like you've made my mind up for me. You're basically going to be mocking up my truck and giving me a model to go by before I even get to build mine lol.

They feel great! Slightly more road noise naturally but not much really, and the only long trip I've taken is out hunting and back. I had the truck loaded down with me, plus 3 buddies (one of which is 6'1" and said multiple times how comfy he was in the back seat for the six hour round trip) and the bed stacked and full of a few hundred pounds of gear. With all that I still managed 23 MPG highway cruising about 78-80 the whole way. I have the 2.0 ecoboost btw.

Forgot the two most important pics.

The Maverick I ordered came in last Monday (10-11-21) at 5 star in NRH. I left with it same day. When I asked how many others were delivered they said that mine was the only one they received and they (the dealership) weren't aware of any others being delivered.

Just curious if I'm the only one in the area with one.

hey, nice! these might be the first white-letter tires posted so far. i just bought the same ones. are those 245s?

I will be waiting eagerly for your update. I'm really excited to start seeing these with a slight lift as that is literally the first thing I plan on doing upon taking delivery. Also, those tires are straight FIRE. How do they feel?

The tires feel great! Already have about 7p0 miles into the truck and 600 of those are on the new tires. They feel and no regrets!

Best thread yet, love seeing dirt on the Mav. Tires look fire also.

I was hoping I’d be the first to get deer blood in the bed of a maverick. Maybe I’ll get to be the second one

Hmmm this has me wanting to throw some A/T tires on my hybrid when it gets in just for the looks

Your Maverick looks great with those tire!! I really think the picture of the back seat storage is the best advertising yet!! Really gives a much better idea of what can be stuffed in there!! Of course us hybrid folks will have to go with slightly shorter shovel, bolt cutter, and ax! Still overall the Maverick is certainly living up the hype of great little truck (not a trucklette ), can't wait to get my Unicorn...Hybrid!

Not sure how I missed this thread because that is a great looking truck.

I enjoy seeing my dirty truck because I like knowing it's getting used on the road and off. Also, diggin your profile pic.
