I recently purchased a 2021 Explorer ST with the 21” wheel option 275//45R21 to be precise. I was told by dealership that I can go down to a 17” or 18” wheel for winter tires. Is this true and if so, what would be a proper size winter tire to buy? I know it is summer but just being proactive. Thanks in advance for any info

Don't know the answer, but welcome! I like narrower tires in the snow myself. But that is quite a jump, speedometer will be affected for one. Sixth generation forum here
2020 - 2022 Explorer - Lincoln Aviator
would be the one to follow.
