The size of the tires and wheels on the 2005 Ford Escape depends on which trim package you choose. For the XLS models, the smallest tire is the P225/75R15, mounted on 15-inch rims that are 6-1/2 inches wide. The XLT, Hybrid, and Limited models all have slightly larger P235/70R16 tires on 16-inch wheels that are 7 inches wide. The recommended tire inflation pressure is 30 psi, which is consistent across all models. Proper tire inflation is crucial for safety, fuel efficiency, and reducing tire wear. Check the tire pressures at least once a month using a reliable digital tire gauge instead of relying on gas station gauges.
The specified tire dimensions for the 2005 Ford Escape are Front Tire: P235/70R16 and Rear Tire: P235/70R16. It is advised to maintain a tire pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (psi) for both the front and rear tires. These tires are fitted onto standard 16-inch silver aluminum wheels.
