What tires look good on the Expedition?

[Lou Hamilton]

The next contender is the Firestone Destination LE3. I am sure that has a few distractors too. It has a pretty tame thread pattern but better snow traction.


Interesting, I have Grabbers too but I do get stuck in snow relatively easy. They are worn though. Have you considered Firestone Destination LE3? If my source is correct they are number one replacement tire for Expeditions.

I had those Firestones on an old Honda Pilot. I had to get them replaced because they wore out in less than 30,000 miles. The most abuse they had were that I used the Pilot to tow a 3000 pounds camper.

I moved to DynaPro AT-Ms and was very pleased with their performance. I got the LT models so they were a bit rougher ride. However, they did great towing and did great in snow.

I'm really happy with these Cooper ST/Max. I have them on a 4 Runner too and have had good luck in the snow, mud, and they also seem to wear good. Fairly quiet on the highway too.

I would echo the comments about the Michelin LTX. I run them on both of my Expeditions as well as my KR F350 and am very satisfied with them. I also bought them through Costco.

I too am running the Michelin LTX M/S2. Good ride, good tread wear. Also from Costco.

Really nice looking rig! Excuse the dumb question, but is the offset just cosmetic? Any side effects with handling or turning?

Negative offset brings the wheel out of the fender to give you that poke (OEM offset on these is +44mm. Turning radius is the same as OEM. Handling, (i'm used to it now) is different. When say making a right turn unto a highway from another highway with a turning lane at 30+ MPH the expy wants to pull a little to the left if your on the gas as you turn.

I have a set of General Grabbers that need replacing. It caused me a few embarrassing moments in the middle of the snow storm here. Expedition is more of a passenger vehicle than an offroader so I suspect chunky tires won't look good on it. At the same time, I don't want to go with street tires either. Need pretty good snow traction. I was looking at the Goodyear Wranglers. It does have a rather aggressive thread but not too much. So what is the middle ground?

Agree it’s true these are more wagons than trucks or even true SUV vs Crossover but have you thought about using winter tires in winter, summer in summer?

Just today Cooper Tires announced major recall.
