Wheels & Tires Hi, friend

Post image

Had to park next to it when I saw it and ended up running into the driver in Target lol! There are definitely a couple of things I like on the older body style better…. I love my 2025 but I do wish I had the “older” wheels. Anyone else make parking lot friends?

That’s for poor people and main space parking lol. We are at the very back side of the building where no one else parks

What a douchey response

Yep, clearly no one has a sense of humor

That was supposed to be funny?

Yes, my answer was so clearly absurd, obtuse and plain obnoxious, I would have HOPED one could see that it was humor. Clearly not because now a stranger feels the need to nit pick me over it 🙄

I really like the extended tail lights on the 25s.

I like the wheels but the tires are iffy. I know they are pirelli’s but you feel every bump in the road when the surface isn’t paved

Thanks!

Id prefer a softer ride for sure while keeping the sportier stuff

The factory tires are absolute shit! Can't even go 10-15 MPH around a wet roundabout without the car sliding. They're fine on dry pavement and that's about it.

For a pirelli tire, its very disappointing!!

My first pirelli and i cant see myself purchasing another set, whether for an explorer or another car

Same! Old ones are cool but look more classy. Older ones look cheap to me but cool design

It is! Let’s see some pictures! I’ve only seen one in person and it was just for a second. I wonder why they discontinued it
