Tire size


Selections

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am in the process of shopping for new rims and tires for my 2011 Edge Limited and I am interested in a larger tire size than what I have been running. I would like to go a little wider and definitely taller in order to fill up the wheel wells a good bit more (as much as safely possible with no rubbing). My current tire size is 245/50R20. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Selections

Don't forget to upgrade your brakes if you go significantly taller than the stock size. People tend to forget that a larger diameter wheel/tire combination requires more torque to get moving and also more torque to slow down. So your acceleration will suffer (not generally a safety issue) and your braking will also suffer (definitely a safety issue) unless you do additional upgrades.
