2012 Ford Explorer Tire Sizes
The 2012 Ford Explorer is listed with five tire sizes: 245/60R18, 245/65R17, 255/50R20, 255/55R19, and 265/40R22. These are alternative fitments, not a single size that applies to every Explorer. Match the size to the vehicle’s current wheels and equipment before choosing replacement tires.
The numbers and letters identify the tire’s dimensions and construction, and the full size should match the specified fitment. The listed options vary with the Explorer’s wheel and trim configuration; the facts do not identify which size belongs to a particular trim or engine. If you cannot confirm the correct fitment from the list, check the tire information on the door jamb or consult the owner’s manual.
