Pamela, a 1991 Ford Explorer was only designed and engineered to accommodate a 15 inch tire and rim package. There are no 16" or 17" rims that will work without suspension modifications.
There are plenty of very good, and affordable, 15 inch tires available that will serve you well.
The General AltiMAX RT43 is one hell of a tire, for $84 a tire, if you want an all around best bang for the buck tread.
The General Grabber and Firestone Destination LE2 should also be considered if you can afford a bit more and need a bit more heavy duty style of tire.
Yip I had 22 inch on mine
There's no such thing as a good used tire. They all were replaced for a reason. Even if they have tread remaining they were driven and run in on another vehicle. If the used tire isn't put on the same side of the vehicle as they were on the last ride you'll have belt trouble.
If the lug pattern is the same they will fit but be aware your speedometer will be incorrect and torque to drive wheels will change.
There are plenty of new 15 inch tires available. Tirerack alone has about 35 different choices for your vehicle

Used tires are gamble, and not one I'd willingly take. My saftey is more important that the money you save with used tires. If you can't afford quality tires, you can't afford to drive IMHO.
No
Yies they will, but try to match the overall diameter so your speedometer will still be correct. Or remember to apply a correction

- What size tires and wheels go on my truck? I have a 1975 Ford Courier and I can't read the tire size on the truck. I'm trying to buy new tires and wheels for it and need the size for them.
- What size tires would look good on stock 97 ranger with black pro comp wheels? I have a stock maroon 1997 Ford Ranger XLT, reg cab, short bed, 2wd. I'm getting 15x7, 5x4.5, Be:3.75 black pro comp wheels and am just going for a stock look, no big tires. What would you recommend? 205/70/15 or 215/70/15 or 75/15 or?
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- Will a set of 235/60-R17 tires fit a vehicle with 225/50-R17 tires currently? If they do I'm assuming there would be a MPH difference on the speedometer. Update: The 60 series set is from a 2014 Ford Focus and are stud-less winter tires. They are to go on a 2012 Ford Fusion.
