What is upsizing on tires and how high can i go?
I have a 2001 Ford f150 van and it has 235 75 15 NOW
What can i safely upsize too?
There about a 5 inch gap right now between the wheel wells is that enough space?
It all depends, check with a local tire shop. Most should have a limit on the sizes your allowed to go. If you always have your tires done at one of these shops, its highly advised to use what tires they say are for your vehicle.
For example if you should buy some tires from some hole in the wall tire repair shop & they put non authorized tires on your vehicle & then next month you run over something & destroy the tire. If you can't get back to that person for whatever reason & use a brand name tire shop. Most if not all will not sell your that one non authorized tire due to legal reasons thanks to Ford & Firestone for that. They will only sell you 4 correct tires for your vehicle. I ran in to that long ago
Would a 255 70 15 work?
- 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.
- I'm in high school and about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car So far I have looked into ford mustangs, I have a choice between a 2007 ford mustang gt with a 8 cylinder motor with automatic transmission, or I can get a 2013 mustang v6. My question is which of the two cars is a faster and louder car cause I would like to show it off and have heads turn by its engine as I drive off on the street. Thank you very much about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car?
- 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.
- Pennzoil High Mileage vs Castrol GTX High Mileage? My local auto store has 5 quarts of Pennzoil High Mileage for 16.99, but 5 quarts of Castrol GTX High Mileage on sale for 9.99$. Which one is better, or does it not even matter and I should just get the cheaper one? It's going in a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS with 155*** miles on it.
