Ford Explorer Sport Spare Tires

The Ford Explorer Sport used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 1991 to 2003 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.4" to 30.1" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.


The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Ford Explorer Sport years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Ford Explorer Sport spare tire.
