Pictures running 32s

I thought that it seemed odd that jump would cause problems with the power of the 5.0.

 

[AlexSport'00]

I'd probably go with 31"s just to be safe, both in terms of power and fitment.
All the 5.0s are AWD correct?

The 5.0 will still be effected, it could be a 7.3 turbo and it'd still loose some efficiency (mpg and hp)

 

[colintrax]

It won't be a huge difference, but extra width and height means more weight and rolling resistance.

you were running 235/75r16 before and made the jump to 32s?

Anybody make the jump from 15s to 31s or 32s and can tell me how it changed their mileage.

My mistake, they were 255/70/16s

Ya all the 5.0 are AWD or 2WD

I went from stock 235/75/15's to 32's and my city mileage tanked. Highway not so much, maybe 1 mpg. City dropped from 16-17 to about 13. I'm in the process of hunting down some 4.10's for the rear, already got the fronts. Should see a marked improvement.

31s it is thanks guys for the help. I need to drive this thing everyday and I'll need that gas mileage. Plus there's more options and I won't have fitment issues. Thanks again everyone time to start hunting deals on new tires.

That's strange though about the MPGs, cause I bought the wife her first explorer (93) with the 235/85R15s and had WAY worse MPGs than her new explorer (95), which I found out afterwards has 30x9.5R15s on it.. But personally I love how well the 30s fill the wheel wells W/O any lift

I need new tires and I'm also thinking 32s.

Falken Wild Peak A/T 265/70/17 (32"). Coming from 33s the MPG is much better but from stock it will be naturally worst.

Just put on 31-10.50-15's and even with a 1 inch tt I had to trim the bumper sides but after the mud flaps were off they don't hit the side step trim.
I would think these are big enough for a stock 5.0 with 3:73's.
