Tire size question

[tpacheco]

I have a 2010 Eddie Bauer Expedition, right now it has the stock 255/70/18's on it. I was wondering if I could run 265/70/18's on the factory wheels and not have any issues with fitment. Also will it affect the computer in the vehicle at all ? Thanks for any info.

you should be able to run them no problem. its only about a half inch difference. speedo will be off a little bit



from the online tire size calculator



from the tire calculator

Thanks for that info, the calculator is a big help. It looks like it would be even better if I was to run a 275/65/18.

What do you all think of the Michelin LTX A/T2 ?
I think I'm going to go with the 275/65/18's

I'm running the Michelin LTX M/S 2's in 265/70R18 and no problems. I little firmer than the 255 perrelli tires but not harsh. They were nice driving back from Disney land in a crazy storm a week ago.

Here they are after installation...

I don't mind if it rides firmer, I'm use to driving around in my F250. These perrellis are like driving around on sponges..lol

I'm installing my 3/2 lift next weekend, and I'm torn for what
Tire size I want to run. Considering 275/70 18 or 295/70 18. Basically 33.3 or 34.4 I think either will fit with the lift. I think I will like the look of the 34 better, however does anyone have any experience with a tire this size with the 6 speed trans? How much rpm will I lose at 70. I have a tuner so I can adjust tire size. Just a little worried about it shifting up on every hill I come to.

I will be able to answer that question in a few days. I ordered a set of 275/70/18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs for my completely stock 07 Expedition 4x4. They are only 1.1" taller and 0.7" wider than stock, so I am not worried about them rubbing. I guess I will look pretty stupid if I am wrong! We shall see.
