2002 Ford Explorer Tire Sizes

The 2002 Ford Explorer tire sizes listed here are 235/65R18, 235/70R16, 245/65R17, 255/50R20, 265/35R22, and 275/30R24. These are alternate sizes, not a single tire size shared by every Explorer. The correct fit depends on the vehicle’s original equipment and configuration.

Read each entry as tire width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter: for example, 235/70R16 indicates a 235-mm width, a sidewall height equal to 70% of the width, and a 16-inch wheel. The listed sizes vary in width, sidewall profile, and wheel diameter; the list does not specify which engine or trim uses each one.

Check the tire placard on the driver’s door jamb or the owner’s manual to confirm the approved size for your Explorer. If your vehicle’s specific size or fitment is not shown there, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual rather than assuming another listed size applies.
