The tire size on your 2019 Ford Explorer will vary depending on the trim level you have. The base and XLT models originally came with 245/60R18 tires, but the XLT model had the option to upgrade to 255/50R20 tires. Those upgraded tires are standard on the Limited, Platinum, and Sport models. For the base and standard XLT models, the wheel size is 18 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches wide. On the Limited, Platinum, Sport, and upgraded XLT models, the wheels are 20 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide. The recommended tire pressure for all models is between 33 and 35 psi for each of the four tires.
For the 2019 Ford Explorer, it is advised to maintain a tire pressure of 35 pounds per square inch (psi) in both the front and rear tires. The front tires have a size of P245/60R18, while the rear tires have a corresponding standard wheel size of 18 inches in silver aluminum.
I just left the car dealership and the tires were filled to 39 pounds per square inch (psi). They told me that having the extra weight in the tires can improve fuel efficiency.
