Ford pairs the Maverick FX4 package with Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires, which honestly aren't really the kind of rubber you want for any real adventures off the pavement. In this episode, Christian talks about the decision to make the switch from the stock 225/65/R17s to a set of 245/65/R17 Cooper Discoverer ATs. From an improved look to better ground clearance and dramatically improved off-road performance, there are a lot of reasons to consider getting rid of the stock tires and beefing up the shoes on your Maverick!

@@themaverickhntr For the hybrid I want to keep the tires as close to the stock weight as possible as not to kill my mpg and performance. I will be going with Firestone Destination A/T2. They are only 3lbs more than the stock hybrid tires for the 235s. Someone else is running them on their hybrid and loves them.

It's honestly hard to believe those Pirellis are Ford's choice for the FX4 package. As I said in the video, they are probably a fine tire for driving on pavement, but there's nothing there to provide any kind of performance off road, and lots of owners say they are terrible in the snow too. I'm hoping I can sell the set I took off on FB Marketplace for $400.

That's a great tire! I think any solid AT tire would work fine. I have an old, 2006 Escalade with AWD that I've been using as my hunting vehicle for the past several years. It does really well off road and I've just been running some Ironman ATs on that. The biggest thing is the tread pattern and compound. Granted, I like a good deal so couldn't pass up the Coopers I found, but if money were no object I might go with some Falken Wildpeaks or Maxxis. Still, I'm not sure that paying double for a tire really gets you double performance. I've had some really good luck with cheap, Goodyear all-season tires from Walmart on my family sedans.

I'm not a big fan of the ATR's on my FX4... On a rainy road trip to FL from NC the hydroplaning was getting out of hand. The truck would almost change lanes and that was after I slowed down quite a bit from normal speeds. I'm prolly not going to go to a true off road tire but will prolly go to Michelin Cross Climate 2. I replaced a set of Pirelli on our Sorento with the Cross climates and it solved the noise and wet traction issues I had on the Kia. Watched a bunch of tire reviews on the Tubes and the Cross Climate 2 wins most of the time

Stock ground clearance with the Pirelli tires and fx4 is 8.4”, so you actually are sitting at just shy of 9” of ground clearance with the 245’s, have at3/w on my maverick personally and I agree, the all terrains in the 245/65/17 size make a world of difference in the appearance of the maverick

I bought the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus (not the ATRs) for the F150 I bought this spring. The tread pattern on those is a lot more aggressive than the ATRs-I’m a little surprised they call those AT tires. I’m happy with them so far but I’ve only had them 2-3 months. I’m looking forward to your videos. I went with a F150 because I have 3 little kids to haul but would love to have a truck that gets the mpgs that the Maverick gets.

Yes, the speedo is off for speed, but more importantly having the speedo off affects the transmission and the shift points. Which long-term, can reduce the lifespan of the transmission. Still, totally like the look with the new tires. Merci
@themaverickhntr
@themaverickhntr Год назад
I would like to think the transmission is basing shift point off RPMs and torque and not the number on the digital display. I'm not expert on computer programming transmissions, but I certainly am not going to lose any sleep over this. I've also tested the speedo with the new tires using my GPS and it's never off by more than 1 mph, MAYBE 2 TOPS. Again, does not seem significant to me.

I put the same tire setup on mine back in Nov 21. Same tires, paid $107 each from Walmart. Slightly noisy but handle great in all weather. You need to do a 1.5 or 2 inch front level kit from Rangerlifts to get that front end up. Made so much difference in handling and looks. The rake of the stock truck sucks. My White XL truck was totaled out in Oct 22 by a drunk driver running from police. New White fx4 on order. You have probably seen the pics of mine on the forums and FB, all black and white Stormtrooper look.

Yes, I think I do recall seeing your truck. Too bad it got whacked! Hope your new one arrives soon. I am considering a lift but won't do anything until spring. I have enough other things to get done before then it will be here before we know it. Biggest things on the immediate horizon now are a ceramic coating and undersize oil coating. I want the paint and frame protected before I start taking this thing in the snow, salt, sand, mud, etc.

@themaverickhntr
@themaverickhntr Год назад
There are a bunch of good videos out on the Tremor. It's a nice truck! Biggest thing that holds the Maverick back are approach and departure angles. Tremor improves that a bunch in the front (approach) but still ain't a monster truck by any stretch. However, the Maverick's AWD system is very good, and the dual clutch and electronic locker on the Tremor are great additions. The Tremor will take you lots of cool places, but just won't be able to handle crazy terrain due to the overall geometry of the vehicle and all the plastic on the rocker panels and bumpers. For the price, however, I don't think you can beat it!

@matthewgaines10 3 месяца назад
The ATR is all the all terrain tire most Maverick owners will ever need. Light off roading, snow, and sand is all they will ever see. They don’t design mass market vehicles for the extreme use case. If you need more, buy more. The Aftermarket exists for that reason.

I honestly don't know if a Ford tech could recalibrate it I just live with it being off a couple mph at highway speed.

It the problem on all vehicles I think the tire upgrade for Toyota with the ridge grapplers and the ford raptor having bfgs is the only trucks off the factory floor with tires your not trading out. It’s kind of embarrassing you fork out money for a new vehicle and your buying new tires right away
@themaverickhntr
@themaverickhntr Год назад
IDK if it is embarrassing, but definitely something you have to take into consideration. I was able to sell my take-off stock tires for a decent price, so the cost of the new AT tires was minimal. Certainly cheaper than adding the "optional" Falken Wildpeak tires Ford offeres from the factory in 235/65/17. Here I was able to go one size larger than that at a cheaper price.

Do the new tires stick out any wider passed the fender wells/walls? Or are they pretty flush?
@themaverickhntr
@themaverickhntr Год назад
Stock tires are 8.9 inches wide. The new tires are 9.6 inches wide. So, the tires likely stick out half that distance wider on each side, or .35-inch on the inside and .35-inch on the outside. It's a fairly small difference, but I also installed RokBlokz mud flaps that also provide protection outside the wheel well. So, they stop any any debris that would otherwise be thrown up by the tires onto the side of the truck.

Why don't you research "Speed Rating" on tires. I bet most people don't have a clue. Does it mean that if you drive your 118 mph Cooper tires at 120 mph, that they will explode, disintegrate? No of course not. The speed rating means that your tire will be able to maintain 118 mph for at least and hour! Who and where could you possibly do this? It is just a rating that is required by the Feds I guess. So that nobody mounts these on a Bugatti that could do it on the Autobahn!

I did change the tire size to 235/65/17 using Forscan. That's the largest stock tire size Ford offers on the Maverick. I doubt the speedo is off much at all.

There are plenty of videos out there proving the AWD on the truck is pretty capable. Clearance is the main thing that will limit the truck but with a 2-inch lift it'll do 90 percent of what I need.
