uping tire size
#4
To go with a 255 width and keep the speedometer pretty close to accurate, you'd want to go with a 60 series sidewall. That might look a bit odd on that style of Explorer. And I can't state with any certainty that you would not have issues with rubbing.
I'm not being much help here, sorry.

I'm looking hard at the General Grabber UHP's in 255/65 16 to replace the 235's on my wife's 2010 2wd.
I was going to go with the the Continentals, but the Grabbers are considerably less expensive, and IMO, will look better on her truck.
Specs are 1) inch wider, same height....bout what I'm looking for.

Update...with pics.
Ended up deciding on 255/65's Cooper Discover LSX Plus's. I detoured from the aforementioned Generals for a couple of reasons.
So far, ride is exceptional, quiet, they make the truck look much better and the Bride is happy.
FYI- Out the door for just $700 and a rebate of $50 in the mail..no complaints.
Nothing says "Happy Easter, Dear" like a new set of tires.
