Load Range E

and the spare is not balanced either. Everyone should drop their spares and get them balanced if you ever intend to really use it.

There is no TPMS in the spare; resulting in a low tire light on your dash.

Both my old 18 and new 19 had/have balancing weights on them. I’ve never had to use them but they were/are balanced. Both dealer purchased.

Um I’ll trade you my C for an E hahah. E is 10ply so you honestly got the more expensive tire. Plus if you hit the dirt and hit any rocks you will wish you had 10ply. I also added a tpms to my spare and rotate it in. Only tire I have left that’s a C is the spare. Honestly Ride confort wise you can’t tell the difference if you set your psi to your comfort level.

interesting ... the spare on my 2013 and 2019 did not have any weights on them at all.

Could they have been knocked loose by the time you looked for them? I make a habit of climbing under the truck and putting tape over the weights as a backup.

I ran KO2's E rated on my 2013 SCREW with 20" wheels. It felt like riding in a yard wagon, but I could fly through a pasture full of mesquite and cactus and never get a flat. May be better to do the swap with the spare so I have an E rated tire in my holster when I start getting flats on a regular basis. I will more than likely end up with all E rated tires in the long run considering I've already had a failure on one of the C rated KO's.

This is why I won’t run E load rated tires on anything but a diesel.

As you experienced, E rated tires on 20s are not ideal for everyday driving comfort. Ford specifically went with C rated to make the truck more compliant on and off the road. You might experience a higher probability of flats, but in most cases they work fine. I run my D rated 37x17” tires at 35 psi and my truck rides better than a stock Raptor. Plus, the small bumps and even concrete curbs are a non-issue.

NO WAY! if the weights fell off then there would be an adhesive mark. There are several threads about spares not coming from the factory with balanced weights.

BTW .. I purchased my 2013 and 2019 new.

That's mainly because of a smaller sidewall, other things (like PSI) being equal.
