Outlander bolt pattern. What is the Mitsubishi Outlander tire size?

Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Mitsubishi Outlander XL, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with automaker recommendations. After all, they have a huge impact on a significant part of the vehicle’s operational properties, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, one cannot fail to note the importance of tires and rims as active safety elements. That is why the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which presupposes the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, only a small part of car owners know such technical nuances. This situation makes the automatic selection system an extremely useful tool in preventing you from making the wrong choice when purchasing tires and rims. And there is plenty to choose from, thanks to the widest range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

The manufacturer allows the use of two options.

1. 215/70R16. These tires are suitable for vehicle operation in various conditions. They provide good grip on hard surfaces of city streets and country highways, and are able to withstand the loads encountered on country roads.
2. 225/55R18. It is advisable to install tires of this size if the car is operated on well-paved roads and the driver prefers an active driving style. The low profile improves handling, but makes the cord vulnerable to shock loads that inevitably occur when hitting obstacles or getting wheels into holes.

Of course, the transition from one mounting diameter to another (from R16 to R18) is possible only after replacing the wheel rims.

Tire sizes for Mitsubishi Outlander of previous generations

These same parameters should be followed when choosing tires for. Despite the somewhat larger dimensions of the crossover marked Xl, the weight of the car and the design of its chassis have changed slightly. The developers' requirements for tire performance remain the same.

On cars produced since 2002 and supplied to Russia since 2003, tires of different sizes are used:

• 215/60R16 are installed on wheels with a mounting diameter of 16 inches (the dimensions of the wheel arches do not allow the use of a larger profile height);
• 215/55R17.

The design of the crossover does not include wheels with a mounting diameter of 18 inches.

Problems to Avoid

On online store sites you can be offered tires 225/60R17 and even 235/45R19. By installing such tires on a Mitsubishi Outlander, the car owner, sometimes without realizing it, creates additional difficulties for himself. Among the possible problems are these.

If you equip a crossover with tires that are too large, you may encounter the fact that the rubber will cling to the wheel arches. Even if it seems to you that the Mitsubishi Outlander looks better on wheels of increased diameter, you should not sacrifice the driving performance of the car for the sake of beauty.

To avoid unnecessary problems and make the operation of the car safe, those wishing to purchase tires for the Mitsubishi Outlander need to know the following.

What else to pay attention to

Tire size, seasonality and tread type are not exhaustive characteristics of car wheels. Attention should be paid to the load capacity coefficient and speed index.

• Regardless of the size, cars of all modifications are equipped with tires with a coefficient of at least 98. Since an increase in the load-carrying capacity of the wheels simultaneously means an increase in their weight, you should not get too carried away with this parameter.
• Taking into account the maximum speed developed by the crossover, the index should be H or higher.

Much depends on the manufacturer. To manufacture their products, companies use different materials that differ in ductility, wear resistance and other parameters. The choice of brand depends on individual preferences.

In conclusion, let’s compare the sizes and parameters of the tires that are equipped with the Mitsubishi Outlander and its main competitors.

It is easy to come to the conclusion that most manufacturers install tires that are similar in size, considering their characteristics optimal for cars of this class.

So, after re-reading 187 pages of this topic, I’ll try to summarize :)

Disks.
During normal departure ET38 maximum rim width 8.5J. For those who like to deviate from the standard departure: upon departure ET32 wheels fit 9J(checked Zonder), upon departure ET45 wheels wide fit 8J(checked Gena_Bukin).
As for the diameter, you can install wheels from 16 to 22 inches. We also do not forget that the disk must be designed for a load of at least 640 kg, although many here use disks with a maximum permissible load of 600 kg and still write here :)

Tires.
This list contains all the sizes tested by forum members. For each size, the final wheel diameter is indicated in parentheses.
Sizes highlighted in orange for some cling to the plastic fender liner on bumps at full load, and some do not. This depends on many factors: how much the suspension has sagged, whether spacers are installed, whether the disc offset affects it, tires from different manufacturers differ slightly in height... In general, use these dimensions at your own peril and risk, or remove the plastic fender liners and there will be no problems.

I hope I have closed the question of what, where, when for you.

P.S. They convinced me not to install 235/60 R18 for the winter, so I installed 225/60 R18. Summer will definitely be 235/60.
