How to confirm the exact tire size on your vehicle
To ensure you purchase the correct tires, locate the tire information placard on the driver's door jamb. It lists the recommended size, load index, and recommended cold inflation pressures. You can also consult the owner's manual or the tire information label on the door edge. If replacing tires for towing or heavy payloads, keep the OEM size for optimal performance and speedometer accuracy.
Load rating and performance considerations
Most 2000 Excursions used load-range E tires due to the vehicle’s weight and towing capabilities. If upgrading or substituting, choose a tire with a comparable or higher load rating and an appropriate speed rating to maintain safety and performance.
