One of the most popular American mid size SUVs, the 2012 Ford Explorer offers remarkable traction on varied terrains, comfortable rides, a roomy interior, economical and punchy powertrains, and advanced features like cruise control, rearview camera with zoom function, stability control, curve control, hill start assist, voice-activated navigation system, and dual-panel power moonroof.

2012 Ford Explorer tires could be 245/65R17, 255/50R20, or 245/60R18 depending on the Explorer’s trim level, which could be Base, Limited, or XLT, and a brand new Explorer might’ve rolled out of the factory with a set of Goodyear Fortera HL, Michelin Latitude Tour HP, or Hankook Optimo H426 tires attached.

The 2012 Ford Explorer Base trim comes mounted with 245/65R17 tires. Consider the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W, BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3, and Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 if you need a new set 245/65R17 tires that offers your 2012 Explorer great performance.

If you drive a 2012 Ford Explorer Limited or XLT, then you might’ve 255/50R20 tires attached to your ride. Take a look at the Continental TerrainContact H/T if you need an all-season tire for your 2012 Explorer SUV. If you need something for off-road purposes, check out the Nitto Nomad Grappler tire. And, if you need something to combat winter conditions and offer pleasing drives on ice, slush, and snow, consider the Yokohama iceGUARD G075.

Excellent as always, thanks NITTO

Used these as summer tires on a 2012 Explorer, absolutely glued to the road even in corners on more "spirited" drives

Beat tires ever

They have been the best tire! We are big into hunting and be outdoors in the woods, we wouldn't be doing anything like that with any other tire! We never had a flat and always been highly dependable. Going to purchase another set soon.
