A Front Rotor Built to Handle Super Duty Payloads Without Warping Under Heat
Heavy trucks put more stress on a rotor than any daily driver, and Timbren's TIM-R205252 is built with that reality in mind. This front vented rotor uses a BES corrosion-resistant coating on every non-friction surface, so it resists rust streaking around the hub and lug studs long after a standard uncoated rotor starts staining your wheels.
Key Features
- Vented rotor design improves heat dissipation under heavy Super Duty towing and hauling loads
- BES coating on non-friction surfaces resists corrosion and rust bleed-through around wheels
- Precision balanced and machined to OE tolerances for smooth, vibration-free braking
- Direct bolt-on replacement using factory mounting points and hardware
- Consistent friction surface finish for immediate pad bedding after installation
- Built to handle the higher gross vehicle weight demands of Super Duty trucks

About Timbren
Timbren has manufactured heavy-duty suspension and brake components in North America for decades, with a focus on parts that hold up under commercial and work-truck duty cycles. The BES coated rotor line was developed specifically to resist the corrosion that heavy trucks see from road salt, towing exposure, and extended outdoor storage.
FAQ
What is the TIM-R205252?The TIM-R205252 is a Timbren BES coated front vented brake rotor built for 2013 to 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2013 to 2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks, offering corrosion resistance and OE-level braking performance.
What does the BES coating protect against?The BES coating is applied to all non-friction surfaces of the rotor to resist rust and corrosion from road salt, moisture, and general outdoor exposure, keeping wheels cleaner over time.
Does this rotor fit both F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks?Yes, TIM-R205252 is a front rotor that fits both F-250 Super Duty (2013-2026) and F-350 Super Duty (2013-2025) within the listed fitment range.
Should I replace rotors in pairs?Yes, brake rotors should always be replaced in axle pairs to maintain even braking performance and prevent pulling to one side under braking.
Do I need new brake pads with this rotor?New pads are not strictly required if your existing pads are within specification, but many installers recommend replacing pads and rotors together for even wear and optimal bedding.
Is this rotor suitable for heavy towing use?Yes, this rotor is designed for the higher weight and heat demands of Super Duty trucks, including regular towing and hauling applications.
Does this rotor include a hub or bearing assembly?No, TIM-R205252 is a rotor only. It does not include a wheel hub or bearing assembly.
Will this rotor need bedding in after installation?Yes, all new brake rotors and pads should be bedded in gradually using a proper break-in procedure to ensure optimal friction transfer and performance.
Install Instructions
- Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle, then remove the wheels.
- Remove the brake caliper and caliper bracket, then support the caliper without stressing the brake line.
- Remove the factory rotor from the hub.
- Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly before installing the new rotor.
- Install the new Timbren rotor and reinstall the caliper bracket and caliper.
- Torque all fasteners to factory specifications.
- Repeat on the opposite side, then bed in the new rotors and pads before normal driving.
Brake Rotors
Brake rotors work with brake pads to bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Upgrading from worn or stock rotors to a performance or OE-quality replacement improves braking consistency, reduces fade, and restores the original factory feel. Popular ProductsPopular brake rotor choices include EBC Brakes USR slotted rotors, Brembo OE-replacement rotors, StopTech Sport cross-drilled and slotted rotors, and Centric Premium rotors for OE-quality service replacement. What is the difference between slotted, drilled, and blank rotors?Blank rotors are standard OE-style with no machining, suitable for daily drivers. Slotted rotors have channels cut into the face for debris evacuation and improved high-heat performance. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors combine both features but may crack under extreme track use. How do I know when brake rotors need replacement?Replace rotors when rotor thickness falls below the minimum spec stamped on the rotor hat, when lateral runout exceeds 0.003 inches, or...
