Tires Kumho or OEM FORD

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.

Good grip in dry & wet, mud + snow rated, quiet, have had them on for the past 3 years. I live in Ontario, these are excellent in the snow.

Buy Kuhmo AT51 road venture. You won't regret it. Even in deep snow.

I live in mountains with lots of snow. No problem whatsoever.

Oh and the tires are very quiet.

Good budget tyre if you have sportier car.

If they are anywhere close to as bad as the Kumhos that came on my GLI, your not going to have a good time. Get some Michelin Cross Climate 2s. they are supposed to be the best all around tire available.

If you are looking for something cheaper,

Kumho Majesty 9 solus can also be an option

Their noise around the same level as top brand grand tourinf tires... like pirelli p7 as 3 or micherlin mxv4, continental pure contact.

very good at dry weather and acceptable at wet,

ride quality is good, but soso steering response.

Snow traction is vevevevery bad with this tire, almost the level if summer tire,but its georgia.

personally, I liked it.

I replaced my Proxes with Kumho Ecsta PA51. They feel more comfy, but feel like they have a bit more road noise.

The only tire I've had that didn't feather in the rear was the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX. But, it's easy to brake the tires loose on APR Stage 1.

That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.

I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.
