AKRON, Ohio, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2015 Ford F-150, part of Ford F-Series, America's best-selling truck, is putting power to the pavement – or even where there is no pavement – with the help of Goodyear Wrangler tires.

Full-size truck owners use their vehicles for a wide range of personal activities and work functions, and the tires selected are intended to help fulfill those uses. The all-new 2015 Ford F-150 is now arriving in dealer showrooms, and it carries multiple features: a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame; military-grade, aluminum alloys in its body and cargo box; LED lights; a 360-degree camera system; and the option of a turbocharged V-6 engine. In addition to these elements, the trucks continue to offer the expected toughness, innovation and best-in-class towing and payload capabilities the F-150 represents.

Goodyear tires will be outfitting the 2015 Ford F-150 XL, XLT, Lariat and King Ranch models. This includes these tires:

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure in 275/55R20, LT 245/70R17 and LT275/65R18 tire sizes.

Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT in 275/65R18 and 265/70R17 tire sizes. On-highway manners, excellent wet traction and long tread life are key features of the Wrangler Fortitude HT.
