Wider Tires

Recommended Posts

I own a 2007 Edge and plan on buying new tires. My current tire size is 245/60R/18, and I want to go with a slightly wider tire...any recommendations?

255/60R18?

 

Seriously - you can go to a 255 or 265 size - you would just need to go to a 50 or 55 series to keep the overall size the same. Do a google search for tire diameter calculators and you can find a 50 or 55 series size with close to the same circumference.

 

Just curious - why do you want wider tires?

The stock 18" rim width for a 2007 Edge is 7.5". This means that you have a recommended 8.83" of actual tire width to play with. This can vary between manufacturers, but in most cases the widest safely you could go on a stock rim is 255. If you can find a shop willing to do it, you could conceivably go wider, but you'd be putting your safety at risk and most likey end up comprising the ride and handling.
