Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat tires

Interchangeability is not established by the supplied fitment information. 8.75-16.5LT/E and 8.75R16.5LT/E are separate documented designations and must remain distinct. Both are listed for the 1980 and 1981 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat and pair with a 16.5x6.75 wheel, but that shared wheel size does not prove that one can replace the other. Match the complete original designation for the exact truck configuration.

Yes. Both years document 8.00-16.5LT/D, 8.00-16.5LT/E, 8.75-16.5LT/E, 8.75R16.5LT/E and 9.50-16.5LT/E. The 1980 model additionally documents 7.50-16LT/D, 7.50-16LT/E and 9.50-16.5LT/D. Some comparable configurations also differ: 4x2 GVWR 6350 has five documented choices in 1980 and three in 1981. Check the appropriate year page for the complete configuration-level fitment.

No. Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat 4x4 fitment varies by year, GVWR and cab configuration. In 1980, 4x4 GVWR 7350 documents five sizes, while 4x4 GVWR 8000 documents four. For 1981, 4x4 GVWR 6700 lists three sizes, whereas 4x4 GVWR 8700 lists only 9.50-16.5LT/E. The 4x4 designation by itself cannot identify the correct factory tire.

Yes. The Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat documents both Load Range D and Load Range E tires. Both years include 8.00-16.5LT/D and 8.00-16.5LT/E, while 1980 also lists 9.50-16.5LT/D alongside 9.50-16.5LT/E. These complete designations are technically distinct, even when their nominal dimensions match. Use the load range assigned to the truck’s exact year and configuration.

The Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat uses several documented LT tire sizes based on model year and truck configuration. The complete 1980 range runs from 7.50-16LT/D to 9.50-16.5LT/E, while 1981 documents five 16.5-inch sizes. For example, the 1980 4x2 GVWR 7650 configuration includes 7.50-16LT/E, whereas the 1981 4x2 GVWR 7650 configuration lists three 16.5-inch sizes. Select the exact year, drivetrain, cab style and GVWR before ordering.

The documented Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat factory wheels measure 16x6, 16.5x6 or 16.5x6.75. The 7.50-16LT sizes pair with the 16x6 wheel. The 8.00-16.5LT sizes use 16.5x6, while the documented 8.75 and 9.50 sizes use 16.5x6.75. The 1981 fitments use only the two 16.5-inch wheel sizes. Wheel diameter alone is insufficient; confirm wheel width and the truck’s complete factory configuration.
