Tire size

Asked by 2teirah Jul 02, 2008 at 07:19 AM about the 2005 Ford Escape XLT AWD

Question type: General

It's time for me to change the tires on my Ford Escape and I find it is fitted with Goodyear Wrangler tires P215/70R16 yet all the online information tells me it should have 235 or 225 width tires. Did some of them come with 215? Or do you think my dealer changed the wheels before selling it to me?

May have had those originally but many dealers change out for different sizes and wheels before the vehicle is sold. Wife's Jeep was like that -- it had a tire upgrade package.

There should be a sticker on one of the doors or the door pillar telling you what size you should have, it also could be on the fuel door. If there isn't a sticker what year do you have? I have and 2005 Escape myself and it has 235 on it.
