Longevity of the OEM Michelins.........

Colin,
You should be just fine. I have 265/60/18 on mine, completely stock suspension, no rubbing at all.

The ONLY thing I don't like in the looks of the Mav are the small wheels.
This fixes it and looks amazing!

Really like the look of these on your truck. Being that my truck is a hybrid I may use 235/65/18's instead for a little less rolling resistance while getting the tall sidewall. Your tires remove much of that wheel well gap, while potentially raising the rear a bit in case it gets rear ended. It may help against a total.

Me too. I was thinking of 235/70/17 or 235/65/18 depending on the wheels I go with.

I already have a set of the Bronco Sport Outer Banks 18" wheels for mine.

It's funny I actually want these stupid things to wear out so I can upgrade to beefier tires.
I also can't bring myself to replace perfectly good tires too early.

if you have the hybrid be carefull with beefier tires. i upgraded 1 size larger to 235/60-18 on lariat hybrid to falken wild peak trails. it was barely ever on electic mode due to the tore tread and weight. It would be different on gas models but if you own a hybrid i would forget about beefier tires. i could drive home and make 60 plus at times on stock size michelins. the falkens were at best 35 to 40. mpg. huge difference for me and i returned them to tire kingdom using falken 30 day ride guarantee program. hybrid maverick needs low rolling resistance tires to maximize what it was i tended for. An economy truck.

Great point, often overlooked if you have a hybrid. More Beefy = less mileage.

I love the 18" Michelins !
