2006 Ford Explorer Tire Sizes

The 2006 Ford Explorer has several listed tire sizes, so match the size to the vehicle’s original equipment rather than choosing from the list alone. The sizes shown are 235/65R18, 235/70R16, 245/65R17, 255/50R20, 255/55R19, and 265/40R22. The number before the slash describes tire width, while the number after it is the sidewall aspect ratio; the final number identifies the wheel diameter. The R indicates radial construction.

Which size applies depends on the Explorer’s wheel and trim configuration. These figures are alternatives, not a statement that every size fits every 2006 Explorer. Confirm the specified size on the driver’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual before buying replacement tires. If your vehicle’s information label or manual does not show a figure you need, confirm it there rather than assuming another listed size is suitable.
