I had a 2007 Taurus. Oil leakage was the main issue. Get it up on a rack at your favorite service shop and get the oil leaks taken care of. Oil filter is above the starter, so if you are having starter issues, look to see if there is an oil leak on the starter.

I did it last winter (edit I may have had 245/60/r18, so taller tire but not wider). They fit, but you definitely cant go any bigger. Minimal clearance of shocks on the front wheels plenty of space at the back. Probably threw off the speedometer a bit, did slightly raise the vehicle.
I had good experience with Pirelli P4 season. I put 75k miles on a 2008 awd ford taurus all highway mileage. No balance issues and even wearing. Worked reasonably well in my northeast pa winters.
My 2016 Ford Taurus has Toyo Celsius on it and they’re an all-season tire. They have snow treads on the inside half of the tread-face and highway treads on the outside half. Very nice for icy and snowy Montana roads and I don’t have to switch them out between winter and summer
I need new tires for my taurus 255/45/19. They're all way too expensive except for the uniroyal tiger paws at $135 per tire. I'll be getting them.
I'm only now replacing the pads & rotors *for the first time* during my ownership. The rotors won't pass inspection, but I'm shocked to find that the pads still have 7/32"-8/32" left. As it turns out, I've been running Duralast Gold rotors & Duralast Elite pads the entire time.
That's a phenomenal track record for the amount of "spirited" road I put past this car.
I’ve got a 2013 Ford Taurus limited, and I’ve got the crossclimate 2’s on her. Beat tires I’ve ever had. They’re a little expensive, but they’re well worth it. They’re designed to push snow and rain away from your vehicle. Stoping power even in the snow is great.
Ride height went up by 2” on the new struts, I’m not surprised the KYB equipment looks like it’s sitting taller.
The o.e. tires where Continental Conti's but these results are from the present Michelin's. I didn't have the Conti's on long and unfortunately I never closely watched the MPG before going to the Michelins. the Conti's were slippery feeling and I see they are rated LRR, which I knew nothing about at the time. The mpg dropped w/ the Michelins... especially with lower pressure.
I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
