Re: Tyre size selection
Re your tyres be careful. I had a ford explorer and the tyres fitted by ford were 235/75/15, after about 5 years of use I changed them to 31/10.5/15 and had travelled about 20,000 klms and the gear box gave way, I was advised that it was possibly due to the oversize tyres. Fuel ecomony dropped and much slower on the take off. After having a replacement gearbox fitted similar syptoms were starting to show up again. Sold the Explorer and purchased a F150. A friend of mine who works for a Ford Dealership put larger tyres on his Explorer and also lost ecomomy. He then went back to the original size
