Hey Everyone,
My Explorer has hit 80k, and it's time to get some tires. (They are quite low)
This is a 4WD, V8, Eddie Bauer edition. The current tires are 235/65/18.
I really want to get something bigger. However, my tire place recommended against it. Indicating it can screw up the driver train, transmission, ABS. I called the Ford Dealership, and they also told me that it can cause issues with the ABS, and generally shouldn't do it.
Obviously, that's not the answer I want to hear. But, I will accept it.. if I didn't feel like they are just telling me that to be on the safe side. I'm not overly concerned with the speedo. (Not interested in lift kits, etc)
I'd appreciate some input on that concern.
Also, I really like a mean looking tire. "Agressive" is one word for it, but I want to make sure that I am not choosing looks over comfort. One tire that I've seen around that I really like the look of is the Toyo Open Country (xtreme) A/T. Also the Perelli Scorpion ATRs are nice. Wondering if anyone had any recommendations in that arena as well?
Thanks!
