Saves a lot of math lolI like the tiresize.com information.
Just be careful about the increase in width. Of course, you have to make sure the new tire supports your rim width. I think I heard all the Nautilus rims were 8" or 8.5", so you should be okay either way. But you also have to look at the tire's overall width, which can change more than the section width.Here is the exact difference. Close enough for me to have the continentals
Yes you are right. I think though one inch wider would be ok. Considering I have 19’s and factory offers on some trim levels what 20’s ?Just be careful about the increase in width.

I once bought tires that were 'plus zero' tires, (from 215s to 225s, I think) and my first set at that size fit just barely. I got just a tad of rubbing at full rotation turns, so I backed off an inch. But the second set of tires I bought were the same 'size', but a different brand with a wider overall width. It rubbed the front fenders on almost every turn and constantly rubbed my rear coilovers (which I had installed earlier and were admittedly wider than the OEM shocks).
I was able to return them only because I bitched that the installer should not have let me drive out on tires that would rub. Just check everything out first.
You're likely very right — just check. Btw, my example above was a coupe. There's much less free space around those tires versus the tires on a CUV/SUV. And I was already wearing the biggest OEM tires for the vehicle.Yes you are right. I think though one inch wider would be ok.

Actually both the Nautilus or Corsair for whichever people may want a different tire but aren’t sure how to go about it. I have a Corsair and my sister has a Nautilus. Both 2022 so all the bugs have been worked outYou're likely very right — just check. Btw, my example above was a coupe. There's much less free space around those tires versus the tires on a CUV/SUV.

Edit: Btw, what vehicle are you talking about? I thought '24 Nautilus, but a different Lincoln?
Just to illustrate my point…from what I can tell, the '22 Corsair with 225/55R19s have a 7.5" rim. That rules out the tire one below (275s) as they need at least an 8.5" rim. But the tire one above (245s) would fit the rim.Actually both the Nautilus or Corsair for whichever people may want a different tire but aren’t sure how to go about it.

Yes 245 is the one I did the comparison on tire size .com. Approved for 7-8.5 inch rim take a look back at that pic. That would give me the Continentals I always use with no real difference in speedometer (a teeny bit lol) and a little wider which might be better. But here’s an important thing for the snow. Wider is not better. Take a butter knife. Turn it sideways try to cut through the butter. It won’t go. Now straight up and down it goes through. I used to do snow plowing with my brother. We used an F-150 with the skinniest tires we could put on it and never got stuck. Skinnier tires in the snow cut through to the pavement. Wider tires sit on top and spin. Just a little not for people that put super wide tires on their cars or trucksJust to illustrate my point…from what I can tell, the '22 Corsair with 225/55R19s have a 7.5" rim.

'25 Reserve and BL still have the mini spare, it only turned into a $250 option on Premiere.A little off topic, but I just read the '25 Nautilus Premiere will not come with a spare tire as standard. It comes with a inflation and sealer kit instead. I'm surprise they would offer this on a Lincoln. I thought you never want to use tire sealant because it gums up the rim. I guess other Fords have done this, and you can still get your spare tire as a $250 option.
…which is what I said.'25 Reserve and BL still have the mini spare, it only turned into a $250 option on Premiere.
Hi swindler. I agree with you that a spare tire, even just a temporary, should be standard equipment in all road vehicles. And an inflation/sealer kit is no replacement for a legitimate spare tireA little off topic, but I just read the '25 Nautilus Premiere will not come with a spare tire as standard.
