The 2005 FEH has a tire size of 235/70/16. GaryG has put a pair of Laditude Tours on his 2005 vehicle. There are other low rolling resistance tires from other manufactures. Tirerack.com is one location to obtain information.

Billy is right and the standard rim on all the FEH was fitted from Ford with the Latitude Tours starting on the '09 FEH. Great tires but don't last as long as the older Eco-Plus that are no longer made. I'm going to move my '09 front tires to my '05 rear rims because of noise at 72,000 miles on the Eco-Plus.

With 25,000 miles on the '09, the front tires show some wear but the rear tires look almost new. Putting new Tours on the front of my '09 and adding the front tires on the rear of my '05 FEH will give me two complete sets of Tours on both FEH's.

I've had new Tours on the front of my '05 FEH for about 25,000 miles now and love them. I no longer rotate my FEH tires because the rear tires last much longer left alone. My '09 will have almost all new tires and the '05 will now have 50% wear on the Tours all around. I will use my new full size Tour spare for one of the new '09 front tires and just buy one more Tour. I'll just use the old Eco-Plus tires for both the full size spares. The tours are lighter weight and therefore will give my '05 better mileage than the Eco-Plus tires on the rear now.
