I’m posting in this section because I’m not sure which other Ford models besides the Explorer may come with the 255/50R20 tires like those on the Platinums and Sports.
On my 2013 Sport with the same tires, I replaced them only after about a year due to extensive tread wear, out of pocket.
I noticed the same thing on our 2017 Platinum with only 22,000 miles being less than 4/32” in most areas, as well as small chunks of the remaining tread coming out.
So long story short, did some research and found Ford SSM 46905 showing that Hankook would possibly pro-rate these tires.
Just received a $750 credit from Hankook via the dealership yeasterday and am having 275/50R20 Michelin Premier LTXs installed as replacements.
They also did a recall on some of their Explorer tires produced over a 2 year span. Don’t have that info readily available.
Figured I’d pass this along.
