Ford Explorer Tires — Fitment by Year

I've been fitting tires on Ford Explorers since we opened in 2010, and I see them roll in constantly—folks running the I-75 commute, hauling gear, or just needing fresh rubber after a few years. Your Explorer takes a 255/65-18 in stock form on most recent models, and that's the size I keep on the rack. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 across the board, 70.5mm hub bore, and depending on your year you might be looking at anything from an 18-inch wheel up to 22-inch, so we've got options.

I stock OE replacement tires that match your factory spec exactly—same load rating, same sidewall—but I also carry performance and all-terrain upgrades if you want to change the feel of your rig. A lot of folks come in wanting something that grips better on the highway or handles a little more off-pavement without going crazy with the budget. I can walk you through what makes sense for how you actually drive.

When we mount and balance, I run road-force on every one—that's the real way to do it, not just spin-balance. My crew checks your TPMS sensors, verifies hub bore fit, and torques everything to spec. We've been here fifteen years on Roswell Road, bilingual, and we do every install in-house. No outsourcing. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment needed, and if you want to spread the cost we've got Synchrony financing for jobs over $199 and Acima lease-to-own starting at $10.

We mount these for folks across Marietta, East Cobb, Roswell, and Kennesaw. Call me at (678) 400-6467, walk in, or book online below.

What we double-check on Ford Explorer

  • Load range matters more than tread pattern. We confirm the OE load index (often E or F on heavier trims) before recommending any oversize fitment.
  • Bigger meats often need a leveling kit or trim work to clear — we'll tell you straight if your size doesn't fit your suspension as-is.
  • TPMS reset done on every install. Bring the lug key if you have aftermarket locks.

Common questions about Ford Explorer tires

What's the OE tire size for my Ford Explorer?
Most models run 255/65-18, but it depends on your year and trim. If you're unsure, bring your VIN or a photo of your door jamb sticker and I'll confirm the exact fit. Takes thirty seconds.
Do you install tires same-day?
Yeah, we do it in-house. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 on every Explorer, so once we've got your tires in we mount, balance with road-force, check the sensors, and torque everything down. Turnaround is usually a couple hours depending on how busy we are.
Can I get a different rim size on my Explorer?
Your Explorer can run 18 to 22 inches depending on model year. I've got options in stock and can order what you want. Just know that going up in rim size means a shorter sidewall tire to keep the overall diameter close, which affects ride a little. I can show you the math when you come in.
Do you offer financing for tire purchases?
We do. Synchrony Car Care gets you six months promo on purchases over $199, and Acima lease-to-own starts at $10 down if you want to spread smaller jobs. Both are straightforward.

Family-owned · Marietta · Since 2010

Built and run by Max Caba and a small team of techs.

We don't outsource installs and we don't sell tires we wouldn't put on our own trucks. Every wheel goes on with a torque wrench and a road-force balance, every TPMS sensor gets reset before you drive off, and every fitment question gets answered by someone who'll be here next week when you call back.

Fifteen years of doing it the same way — that's the whole pitch. We're a small shop on Roswell Road, not a chain, not a call center. Walk in and you'll meet the same techs who'll touch your truck.
