2000 Ford Explorer Tire Sizes
The listed tire sizes for the 2000 Ford Explorer are 235/70R16, 235/75R15, and 255/70R16. These are the sizes shown for this model year; the correct size can vary by vehicle configuration, so use the size specified for your Explorer rather than assuming every listed option fits every vehicle.
Read each size as a tire designation: the first number is the tire’s width, the number after the slash is its aspect ratio, and the number after R is the wheel diameter in inches. The three listed sizes differ in width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter, so they are not interchangeable based on appearance alone.
The facts list sizes for the year but do not identify which size applies to a particular trim or engine. Check the tire information on the driver’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual to confirm the required size for your vehicle.
