Tire size

[Jim Galvin]

When I purchased my 2010 Sport Trac Limited it came with 235/18 tires. Any problem replacing them with the Michelin 265/18 tires? Thanks, Jim

The only problem I can see is the width of the stock rim. You want to put a tire that's gonna be 1.25" wider than stock on a 7.5" rim(I believe, might be 8"). It'll work, but may not be the best for the tire life. Remember, this is going to throw off your speedo/odometer. Unless you have a programmer where you can change the tire diameter specs, you'll have to live with it. Bob



Use the tire calculator function at this website:

Hum ... my parts/service guy at the Ford dealership advised that it would not make any difference in ride or gas mileage. He said it would give me a "more solid" ride.

Seems I remember that the height was the same for 235/55/18 and 265/60/18. Bob's tire calculator (link above) will confirm it.
