Tires & Wheels

Guys I want to have a nice riding explorer with the cruising street kinda feel and definantly not the off road rough feel. I have a 4" lift right now but riding on 22" rims.... What or who should I look into? I'm mostly concerned with the fronts at this point but all the way around would be nice too!

Hi all, anyone know if a 255 75 r17 bf goodrich mud terrain KM will fit on a no lift 2003 limited ex??? thanks, I've searched and all but the options listed are for 31.6 inch tires 265 70 r17 or whatever, and the ones I'm looking at are 32.06 inches... Thanks a lot.. heres the link to the rubbers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LT-25...127199002r3290 __________________ Lifted and sold 94 sport.

Me Stock (Oem steel rim with stock size tires) : 45lbs Yokohamas 33X12.5 mounted on 15X10 wheels : 85 lbs So my truck is nopw 160 lbs heavier.

Ive done a search in this forum for the stock wheel size on my 91 to no luck. I know theyre 15" rims but thats it. I need to know this so i can figure out what the max size tire i can get away with, without having to upgrade my wheel size.

After over 3 years running Kumho muds, I finally made a switch to Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. Stayed the same size, 33x12.50x15. I was looking to move from muds to ATs. These are classed as ATs, but they're closer to a mud, in my opinion. Love the look of them, and haven't heard a bad thing from anyone who has run them. Toyota guys in particular seem to LOVE the damn things, and give them very high marks for driving in the snow. With the winter bearing down on us north east guys, I'll get to test this claim soon enough. I really dig the look so far, time will tell how they perform. Here's a couple of crummy night pictures until I can get some daylight shots. EDIT: Better photos added.

Hey does anyone have pic of their ex on black cragar soft 8's? I did a search and only came up with a guy with chrome ones. Also anyone put them on with stock size tires??

Welcome! This is the place to ask all your questions about Tires and Wheels.

Most of the time you'll find your answer in the search phase. Try to keep your search somewhat broad to get more hits. Don't give up after one or two tries. IMPORTANT: If you are going to post about tire/wheel fitment (i.e. I want to know if 32s will fit with a TT and shackles or even 20's and 22's), bolt pattern, and other things that are talked about constantly in this forum, please be aware that I may delete your post if I feel the need. Too much space is wasted for asking the same...

Hi there. I just bought a 1994 Explorer Sport 4x4 loaded. I think it has all the toys in it. Anyways, it needs tires. They will pass inspection but won't be good for a New Hampshire winter. I have seen that the largest tires you can get without rubbing for this is a 30x9.5. Well my question is what is the difference between that and the 235/75R15's that I have on it now? I would like a bigger tire for some added ground clearance. Is there a difference? Anything else that would be useful, please let me know. Oh, what tires would you guys recomend? Snowy winters, off-road on snowmobile trails during rebuiling months. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!!

My girlfriend has a brand new 4x4 Escape. She goes off-road quite a bit w/ it! This Escape came stock w/ 235-70-16 tire size. I found that BFG makes its Mud Terrain in a 245-75-16. will this fit on this?

Just bought a set of 33's and have a few impressions. They are very very quiet on the highway. They balanced very easily, and look very nice. As far as treadwear i havent had them for more than a few hundred miles. Anyone heard anything positive or negative about these tires??? They are very cheap too at about 120$ a tire for 33's. They look alot like the maxxis buckshot mudders...

I just got a great deal on 33x12.5's and while i've seen them before, I have never heard anything good or bad about them. Has anybody run these before? Does anybody know who makes them? I tried to google them but couldn't get anything on the tires. Any help is apreciated!:us:

I'm selling the wheels off my Explorer and need to know the correct bolt pattern so I don't tell anyone wrong. I know they are 5 lug, but don't know the mm bolt pattern size. Can anyone help? Please?...CoDean

36" - 38" on a 15" wheel. I'm not getting new wheels. Which ones and why? And no Procomps! Take into account the type of wheeling I do. List: TSL SXs MT/Rs IROK (eh) BFG KM not KM2 ? ?

Whats up fellas? I am new to this board and I am sure this question has already been addressed. But here it goes again: What is the Maximum oversize tire to fit on the stock 16" rim of my 2002 4wd? I am wanting to go with BFG A/t's. Another possibility is what is the largest tire/rim recomendation for minimal rubbing WITHOUT LIFTING. Thanks

I'm looking to put a set of BFG KO2s on my 2013 Explorer XLT. I have the stock 245/60R18s on there now. The shop is saying go with the 255/55R18, but the one thread I found ( http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431021 ) has a cryptic comment. "as tough as some of these 105 load rated tires are I'd worry more about aspect ratio than I would plys. as in - anything lower than say the 60 ratio (assuming stock 18's) then I would worry about punctures as the side wall stiffness wouldn't allow the tire to deform nearly as much." Does any on have KO2s on the Gen 5? If so what size? Are the 55s too wide? Can anyone clarify why not go go less than a 60? Thanks, stefan
