Did you sell them?I have a 2019 Expedition Max Limited with 22" wheels. I'm considering installing smaller diameter wheels with higher sidewall tires to make the ride softer. Has anyone done this and was the difference noticeable? Would you do it again?
I live at 7,000 feet on the Palmer Divide and we got 14 inches yesterday! I have the factory 20's on mine and bought four new Kumho Crugen HT51 All-Season with 3-Peak Snowflake rating last summer. I never do off-road, but need good winter traction as our streets are in shade and keep ice until April/May most years. I have been satisfied with the highway ride and handling with the Kumho's. During an earlier snowstorm a few weeks ago, they gave good traction in 4A (don't have 4x4) but did notice the ABS activating on a couple of brake applications. Nothing scary, but was a little surprised. They're probably not the best winter tires, but I need an all-season because I don't want to swap twice a year.So what about meeting in the middle? I have to get some tires yet again, I am very disappointed with these Cooper tires I have. They have worn down so bad. I have the 22's and I was considering reducing the wheel size to give a few more tire options. Today's snow/slush has shown me these are dead, dead to me! What are some good 20" wheels (preferably even factory so I don't have to mess with shaving parts of the axle or screwing around with offsets) and tires that do well in many conditions? I don't off-road crazy so I don't need anything super aggressive, but I I do want good all around driving performance and at least a couple of years of good snow traction. I was considering going back to some ltx/Ms2's or something. I need good temperature range as well.
I just did the swap last week, took off the Special Edition 22’s and put on 18’s just for a softer ride and E Load rating.
Still need to do the 3/2 lift and change the sway bars.
