    Tire recommendations for 22" w/ CCD?

    I have about 53k miles on our 2018 Platinum OE Hankook tires and will be looking to replace them soon-ish. I haven't been impressed with their performance, particularly in wet or slick conditions. In the past I've been pleased with Michelins (on other vehicles), so I'm primarily leaning towards...

    New expedition new tires

    Hey all, my first thread here. Week old owner of 23 KR Max. So far I love it! I decided to replace the General Grabber tires with the pirelli scorpion all season 3 plus tires. I did this because what I’m looking for is the most comfortable (low sound, easy on bumps) ride possible. After...

    1998 XLT 2WD Constant alignment issues

    I have a 98 expidition xlt rear wheel drive 4.6L v8. For some reason I can't keep the front wheels in alignment. Control arms and bushings are good. Ball joints are good. Tie rods appear to be fine. Shocks are new. I take it in to get the alignment done and a day or 2 later the toe angle on the...

    Can bad suspension ruin tires that look like new?

    I purchased a 2003 Expedition in Arizona that's beautiful inside and out but has high miles. The suspension was worn out, badly. Lots of play in the ball joints and split CV boots. The owner said he had about 10,000 MI on the like new tires. Howls loudly. So I sunk over a grand into it and...

    2010 EB 4x4

    Here's my new to me 2010 EB 4x4. Previous owner put on 33" Milestar Patagonia A/T R tires on 20" f150 take offs. Things I'm planning for it are: I have a Rancho level lift to install. And I'm hoping to get 17" Icon Rebound wheels. Also, an overland type front bumper and maybe the front raptor...

    Word to the wise - 34.5"s Don't Fit!

    TL/DR: 2019 Expy FX4, RL 3/2, 34.6" tires rub in the rear. Help! STORY: I just got the ReadyLift 3/2 kit installed and had it realigned to the custom specs laid out in the RL instruction manual. I did as much research on this site as I could about what tire size would fit, and used Readylift's...

    About to buy a 21 Expedition, but…rim size?

    I’m looking for the best ride here…do I stay with the stock 18inch rims or do I get the 20inch rims? Is there a ride difference? Is it noticeable? Any info is appreciated.

    Not just new to Expedition, this is my first Ford.

    Just picked up an overpriced (hahah) 2018 CPO Limited for the expanding family. I loved my RT Durango, but it did not hold car seats for jack squat. Now, show me those chrome delete and wheel/tire posts.

    Recomendations for Wheels & Tires for 33's?

    I'm considering the ICON stage 1 or 2 system. Max tire size is 33" with no cutting or bending. Are there any recommendations for the best wheel and 33" tire size combination? The goal is to improve over-landing performance for up to medium difficulty trails. (no rock crawling planned)...

    Wheels/Tires

    Hello Everyone, I have a 2018 XLT and I am looking to upgrade my wheels and tires. Currently considering the platinum replicas. Wheel wise, I know for sure I want something machined/milled to get the "two-toned" look to compliment my chrome accents. Tire wise, I prefer the truck tire look, but...

    New Tires - 2018 Platinum

    Two questions... It looks like my driver's side rear tire picked up a nail in the tread about 1-1.5" from the inside sidewall. The dealership says it's too close to the sidewall to be repaired. I have a plug kit, how dangerous do you think it would be to repair this myself and keep it...

    9.00r16 Michelin Xzls help

    I bought these tires, shop said they wouldn’t fit due to the bead being too big, if they’re for 16” wheels why wouldn’t they fit? I know they’re off military vehicles but I’ve seen them mounted on passenger vehicles and pickups, I have the stock wheels 16x7, can someone help clear up my...

    LT Tires and Towing

    I haven't seen this mentioned on any threads in the last few years, so I thought I'd share my experiences towing with 2 different type of tires. 2018 XLT came with the Michelin Primacy tires. Towing my 2016 Cougar 21RBS I have to be very careful to keep the tongue weight and cargo in check to...

    I have a 19 Expy platinum (285x45x22), with continental TerrainContact ATs. the owners manual says that for 17s and 18s that there are ford recommended chains. But, nothing indicated for 22s. I called ford, big0, and a couple other tire shops. All are willing to sell me S-type (cables)...

    Is it worth downsizing the wheels and tires?

    Hi Folks! I was told last night that the 22 inch tires on the Expedition will last for around 50000 KMs... so 31000 miles about. I was surprised to hear that. Does anyone know of the benefits switching to 20 inch or 18 inch wheels? Do they last longer? Better mileage? I love the...

    Low Tire Pressure Warning

    Hi all, I’ve got a 2019 expedition with a really handy feature that shows the tire pressure in each tire. Unfortunately, it appears to be off by 8-10 psi and is giving me a low pressure warning (31psi or lower) while the gas station pump is telling me all the tires are up at 40psi. Has...

    Tire Recommendations

    Hi all! Coming up on 47k for my 2017 with 20" wheel/tire package and its time to replace the rubber. Had my heart set on General Grabber A/TX (275/55R20) but guy from Tire Rack warned me against them due to "truck metric" vs. "passenger metric". With that said, he went on to recommend Cooper...

    2019 Aftermarket Wheels and 33s?

    I'm looking to upgrade the FX4 wheels to 20's and run a beefier tire than stock. I don't plan on doing any extreme offroading. Looking at the Fuel Rebel 20x9's currently. Ideally, tires would come out just passed the fender well and have no rubbing. I don't plan on doing a 3/2 lift (needs to fit...

    Speedometer calibration after lift/tires

    I recently installed the Readylift 3/2 lift along with the recommended 285/75r18 tires on factory wheels. Those tires are actually a little too big and were rubbing in the rear before doing some trimming of the liner. The fronts just barely clear, and rub slightly in the right circumstances. I...
