What is the tire model of the Edge?
2 Answers
Ford Edge's tire sizes are 245/60R18, 245/55R19, 245/50R20, and 265/40R21. The method to distinguish tires and the meaning of tire models are introduced as follows: Method to distinguish tires: The model of the tire can be identified based on the data on the side of the car tire. Generally, the side of the tire will indicate the tire's width, aspect ratio, tire type, and the applicable size of the tire. When purchasing tires, observe the tire data before making a purchase. Meaning of tire models: There will be a series of numbers marked on the side of the tire. These numbers are separated, usually the first three digits refer to the width of the car tire. Generally, the width of the tire ranges between 145 and 285. Additionally, different engine displacements can also lead to the use of different tire specifications.
I've been driving the Edge for several years and remember the tire specifications clearly. The base model usually comes with 245/60R18 tires. When I changed tires last time, the mechanic reminded me not to alter the size randomly as it could affect braking and fuel efficiency; the 245 indicates the tire width in millimeters, 60 represents the aspect ratio, and 18 is the wheel diameter in inches. Later I found that higher trim levels like the ST-line might use 245/50R20 tires, which provide better stability but cost more. For daily commuting, the original size ensures comfort with significantly less bumpiness. If you're unsure, checking the label on the door jamb is the most accurate way to avoid unnecessary trouble. Regular tire pressure checks are also crucial - I measure mine monthly to prevent premature wear and extend tire life, which is vital for safe driving.
