2008 Ford Expedition Limited EL?

Question

I just leased this suv and I stay in Michigan my last lease was the 2006 fusion and I thought it sucked I have had my suv for about an week it has 20chrome factory rims on it what would be the best rims if i wanted to change them my suv is black on black with chrome door handles and I had it equppied with 4x4 will that give me good handle in the snow

and I have pirelli tries on it that came with the suv are these good tires and if I caught a flat how much would the run for

Answer 1

20" rims wow there going big from factory now days

pirelli tires as of what i have herd are great tires but cost alot of money

first of all be careful its a lease they might want the origional rims back on the truck when you return it
soo keep your old ones

for rims my guess is that you cannot go with a smaller rim if it came factory with 20" because the brake rodars will be too big
i would say go with aluminum they will not rust
and usually are stronger but they will be more expensive

4x4 yeah great option to have for snow but where at in michigan do you live i live in taylor michigan and we dont see that much snow anymore and if we do its usually cleared off quick last year i did not even use my 4x4.
also 4x4 meaans more weight meaning less gas mileage dont get me wrong it is great to have and i will never get a vehicle without 4x4. but i sometimes think some people think that they have 4x4 and there all big and bad and can stop on a dime in snow and will never get stuck (not true)
just be careful with it.

Answer 2

Rims are a matter of choice and personal taste. The 4x4 will give you better handling in the winter. The only thing is that it will be a little harder to stop since you have more weight on the front end. People tend to get over confident when they have 4x4 cars or trucks. It will take off and run but you have to turn it and stop it too. Just be careful.

good luck withe Expy EL.

Answer 3

I would keep the factory rims and tires since it is a lease. If you want to dress it up go to a local Belle Tire or Discount Tire and look at a set of upgraded rims

The factory tires are fine. They work great in the snow I'd leave it alone unless you want to personalize your truck.
