JETZ Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) It's not 'bigger', but 'taller'. Why? TireRack shows no tires are available in that size! Edited December 16, 2012 by JETZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 TireRack shows no tires are available in that size! Toyo Proxes come in that size, the taller sidewall might make for a slightly smoother ride. The 'mark 1 eyeball' says they should fit... but I have no actual knowledge. If you try, please let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacyon Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 just a comment, I was thinking about going a tad wider because I like that look. The next size up for me in the scorps would have been from the 245/50r20 at 8" wide to the 275/50r20 at 8.8" wide. I'd pick up some max weight from 1874lbs to 2403lbs .. BUT I'd lose speed rating from 130 mph down to 118 mph. I know that the computer stops me at about 115 mph, but that is kind of close to the 118 mph. I'd rather have the 15 versus 3 mph buffer, not have the extra .8" inches, and run the risk of some time down the road Ford saying ,,, "well that's why, you've running non-spec tires. We're not covering it. Just my thought process and other specs to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
