Hi, I am very tire illiterate so please mind the question. On my ‘18 SE I have 235/50/17 tires, I was wondering if I can use 225/45/17s? My other choice of tires are 245/65/17s. These options are for a full set of 4.

Hi 18SE25 and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. No, neither tire will be sized properly. The 225/45-17's will be too small in diameter. The 245/65-17's will be far too large in diameter and likely would rub.

 

You can use the tire size calculator to find a proper fit: https://tiresize.com/calculator/

Click on the "Tire Comparison" tab, then input your current tire size and any tier size you are contemplating to get comparative sizing information.

 

Also, since you state "I am very tire illiterate...", I would recommend you get the assistance and advice of a good tire shop before purchasing any tires.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
