Questions for guys with 20” sport wheels.

Could pick up a used General ATP 275/70r18. Cheap lightweight 33" tire. 265/70r18 is going to work, but is smaller. If you had to get a new tire that's the route I'd go. Most other 275/70r18 tires are LT and heavier as well as more expensive.

Ford does not use "real tires" as spares. Unless someone bought used. I did not.
It looks like a regular tire at first glance - but it isn't.

Guess again. Bought the truck new. It is a Maxxis 771 Bravo AT. https://www.maxxis.com/us/tire/bravo-series-at-771/

Is the wheel 20” diameter? Is the tire the same tire as the rest?

It's a Maxxis 771 N, Bravo A/T, 265/70R18 116T. Marked as "Temporary Use Only".

@Jekyll appears to have the same spare tire as you and he said his is marked "Temporary Use Only"

These limited distance tires look like real tires but have shallow depth tread.

Don’t you hate it when you are the person on the internet who is wrong?

Yep

I'm wondering if maybe Ford put temporary tires on 2WD trucks and regular spares on 4WD.

99% of spare tires in F150 trucks are temporary use. Take a peak under any F150 at a dealer lot.
Yours is an exception, Maxis tires are made in taiwan. I hope it works for you if you ever need it.

My 2021 has the same Maxxis tire.
Not really made to use long term any spare tire that is not a match to other wheels. It is very close but not the same diameter.

My old 2011 had full size exact match spare not a second brand different size rim.

No, my truck is an FX4 Lariat. Your tire is different than mine. Yours is marked 771T, mine is 771N. Mine has big ol letters saying Temporary Use Only, and your tread is deeper.

I've got my 4 factory wheels/tires (hankooks), considering 'parting' them out for those who want a full size / rotatable spare if you've still got the factory tires. Tread should still be full. My FX4 has the maxxis tire, but I've got 34s now so not a good match for a 4wd truck. Anyone in the NWGA area and surrounding states, just let me know.

I'd consider buying one but I'm up in NJ (outside of Philadelphia) which is pretty far.
