My Mariner’s tires honestly should’ve been replaced a long time ago, but I’ve had no idea where to start when looking for replacements. What are the best tires for a Mercury Mariner?

Well, it sounds like the time to replace your tires is now! The best tires for your
Mercury Mariner
will depend on various factors, one of the most important being tire size.
For example, the tire size of a 2011 Mercury Mariner is P235/70R16. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
  • The P means the tire is designed for passenger vehicles.
  • The 235 means the tire is 235 millimeters wide.
  • The 70 means the tire’s height is 70% of its width.
  • The R means the tire’s inner layers lie radially.
  • The 16 refers to its 16-inch diameter
You should be able to find your tire size in your owner’s manual. As you’re tire shopping, pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index to make sure they’ll be compatible with your Mercury Mariner.
When it comes to tire types, here are some to consider for your Mercury Mariner:
  • All-season SUV tires: All-season tires designed specifically for SUVs tend to have better traction and a higher load capacity than typical all-season tires for cars. They’re usually a solid option if you’re looking for reliable handling year-round.
  • Winter/snow SUV tires: You can swap your summer tires for winter/snow tires to prepare for snowy and icy driving conditions.
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: These tires can help improve traction and overall handling. Some are year-round, while others are specifically for warm seasons. One consideration with UHP tires is that they can wear faster than some all-season tires.
