Frequently Asked Questions


The Ford Explorer commonly uses tire sizes like 255/70-16 and 265/70-17, depending on the model year and trim. Larger tires may also fit if you've lifted your Explorer or want enhanced off-road capability. Always check your owner's manual or current tire sidewall for exact sizing.

For off-road driving, the best tires for a Ford Explorer are all-terrain and mud-terrain tires from trusted brands such as BF Goodrich, Toyo, Nitto, and Cooper. These tires provide excellent traction and durability on rough terrain. Schedule a same-day appointment with Gunnell's Tire & Service Center to find the perfect fit.

While you can replace a single tire, it’s generally recommended to replace tires in pairs or all four, especially for vehicles with AWD or 4WD like the Ford Explorer. Matching tread depth and tire type helps maintain balanced handling and safety. For expert advice and installation, schedule a visit at Gunnell's Tire & Service Center.

Tire lifespan varies, but most Ford Explorer tires last between 40,000 to 60,000 miles depending on tire type and driving conditions. Regular maintenance and inspections can extend tire life. Check out our tire warranty information for details on coverage and replacement options.

Larger aftermarket tires can improve your Ford Explorer’s off-road performance, ground clearance, and aggressive look. However, they may affect fuel economy and ride comfort. Gunnell's Tire & Service Center stocks a wide range of larger tires and can help you choose the best option based on your needs. Schedule a same-day appointment to explore your options.
