Time for new tires on my Maverick 2022 Hybrid Lariat

[JP4AZ]

My Cyber Orange Maverick Hybrid has 235/60/18 Michelin Defender LTX M/S On Mach-E Wheels.
For A Hybrid I would Highly recommend these (Not the Primacy). Michelin discontinued these tires and replaced with the Defender 2.

The Blue EB AWD has 265/60/18 AT tires on Bronze Niche Wheels. These are the largest tires you can fit on a maverick without modification (no rubbing). Too big for a Hybrid in my opinion. I took these wheels & tires off and put the factory steelies on before I traded it in. The Bronze wheel & tires are available for purchase.

Last photo shows size difference compared to stock.

I would recommend getting close to stock size or slightly larger if you have a Hybrid.

LOL. The worn off rubber is the biggest contributor to the micro-plastic pollution patches in the Pacific. Its even in every fish that you eat.

There are micro organisms (bacteria, etc.) that consume and digest minute particles of rubber that wear off tires. There is NOT a dramatic amount of rubber along highways. The bulk mass of rubber is re-absorbed into the environment. Of course larger pieces remain for decades and contribute to litter. It's more like litter than pollution.

I own a 2022 Maverick Lariat with 18″ diameter, 7″ width wheels.

I may need my first set of new tires soon. I want to put bigger tires on as the factory tires look undersized for the truck.

Does anyone know what the maximum size tire I can replace these with? Will the Hybrid be affected if I choose a larger size tire? Do I need to modify the computer at all?

Thanks

Be careful what you do until your warantee is up. Ford may not cover things if you change the tire size.

235/65/18 is what I will put on next. Those are 30" tall, and the right width for the 7" wheels. You can go 255/60/18 too, but they will bulge some and not be as good in the snow.

did you go 235/65/18 yet? if so, any rubbing issues?

Not yet, but others have.
