FORD F-150 LIGHTNING TIRE COMPARISON: ALL SEASON VS ALL TERRAIN

EV Channels Review

This video presents a direct comparison of the Ford F-150 Lightning's driving range when equipped with stock General Grabber all-season tires versus BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires. The reviewer conducted the test on the same course and under similar conditions, approximately two weeks apart. The results clearly indicate that the all-season tires offer a significant advantage in efficiency. The F-150 Lightning achieved 256 miles with the General Grabbers, finishing with 9% state of charge and 25 miles of estimated range remaining. In contrast, with the BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires, the truck managed only 255.7 miles, ending with 1% state of charge and just 3 miles of range. This translates to an 8% improvement in battery retention and 22 miles of additional range with the all-season tires. The reviewer notes that this difference aligns with expectations based on physics and previous experiences with tire efficiency, drawing a parallel to a similar drop in fuel economy observed on a Toyota Tacoma with all-terrain tires. While the reviewer acknowledges minor discrepancies in trip data recording during the test, the overall conclusion is that all-terrain tires demonstrably reduce efficiency and range compared to all-season tires on the F-150 Lightning.
