What tires are best for a 2009 Ford Explorer? The following tire brands and types are a great fit for your Ford Explorer.
Shopping for tires can be overwhelming, but not when you're equipped with the right information. That's why you should head our way when it's time to put new tires on your 2009 Ford Explorer. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the tire shop of choice for Ford Explorer tire options. Whether you want a tire that's built to take tight corners, handle diverse terrain, or improve fuel-efficiency, you'll find affordable tires that get the job done.
View the recommended tires for your 2009 Ford Explorer, plus useful info about Ford Explorer tire pressure, tire size, and speed rating. Your vehicle can't drive correctly without the correct tires. As one of our tire technicians, Brianna, explains, "You want to find the correct size for your tire. It matters in alignments and keeping your vehicle driving the way it’s supposed to.”
Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Ford Explorer tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. If you live in Florida, you probably won't need heavy-duty winter tires. Somewhere like Colorado or even Kansas is a different story. You may want to invest in a set of Ford Explorer snow tires for one part of the year, and all-season tires for the rest of the year.
When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. It's one of the best ways to maximize their Ford Explorer's safety and performance from January to December. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!
Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. Do you enjoy pushing your Ford Explorer to the limits? Going where no vehicle has gone before? If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. You'll want a tire that can handle sand, stone, gravel, dirt, and more. A larger tire with stiff sidewalls and a wide tread pattern can help prevent punctures and encourage stability in uneven road conditions. But if you mostly drive around the city, a Ford Explorer tire that offers comfort, stability, and a quiet ride could be just what you need. Browse Ford Explorer tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you. You're only a click or two away from a new set of 2009 Ford Explorer tires.
