Any recommendations for new tires for 2022 navigator
My suspension feels like I am driving a dump truck

I dont have recs, but i also wanna put new tires on mine. I love how mines ride 90% of the time, but i dont think i like the generals. The my25s use 275/r50 width tires instead of the 275/r45 width thats on the trucks. I think i wanna go that route because I think the extra bit of sidewall will help with the shakes on bad roads and eleviate some stiffness on small hard edges. Has anyone added 275/50s to their 4th gens?

Since you didn’t specify the climate, it doesn’t narrow down your options.

That being said, if you deal with any inclement weather, these tires are incredible:

I can second that. I have those on my wife's GX460, and I will be installing them on my winter set of Navigator wheels when my current tires are worn. These WeatherActive Pirellis ride a bit harsher than Scorpions and can be noisy on a wet surface, but they are fantastic in the snow. But for Summer driving I'm sticking to Scorpions AS3 Plus.

Hello, friends. Welp, I did it. A family member works at discount tire, and with the added end of year discount, got new tires for 15% off. Ended up getting continental terrain contacts, but went up in size to 275/50 r22s instead of the regular 285/45 r22s. Too early to give a review right now and i wanna air down the tires, they sitting at 44psi right now, but first impression so far is it definitely helps with the body jitters on washboard pavement. They also look better since they fill out the wheel wells a bit. Will write up something after we get back from our trip.

Hi dlcorbett. Why are they filled to 44psi? Did someone recommend that high a cold tire pressure?

What is the recommended pressure listed on the Lincoln placard located on the driver door sill? Since the new tire size is similar to the factory size, your current psi should probably be in that general vicinity, +\- a psi or two for personal preference.

I could be mistaken, but 44 psi just sounds a bit high. I’m sure someone will jump in to correct that if I’m wrong.

Keep us updated and good luck.

Yea i dnt know why they inflated them so high. I lowered them to about 38 the first chance I got. Gotta drive some more to soften the tires a bit, but so far, they feel really good. Since the tires are a bit bigger, you feel the weight more readily, It drives a tad firm on bumps, but in a good way. The harshness and sharpness is greatly reduced, bumps are dispatched a bit quicker, the jitteriness and nvh is toned down substanially, and the body itself feels more solid as well.

I’ve been using Discount Tire for about 30 years. They have good prices, a great selection, and good service. However, they do tend to overinflated tires. I just deflate them to the proper pressure.

39 psi should be the recommended tire pressure. I generally run 37-38 psi and when towing I air up the rear tires to 44-45 psi.
