[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 85401, member: 2768"] I don't think this is anything but semantics. There is nothing special about these tires in regard to the SVT Raptor and Ford essentially says so in the Supplemental Maintenance manual while they also call the tires, "unique". If there was anything "special" about the tires on the Raptor there would have to be special markings on the tires! This is from page 26 of the Supplemental Maintenance manual: And this is from page 27: It's clear to me that there is nothing more special about the tires on the Raptor than it was the tire that was used when optimizing the suspension design and performance. IMO, the tire was not designed, modified or produced specifically for the Raptor. It's a great tire with known performance that was used when developing and fine tuning the vehicle. And obviously, if other tires meet the size, speed rating and load rating they're absolutely "acceptable" to Ford and their tire criteria.
