What size Tyres are on a 2018 Transit Connect?
Most 2018 Transit Connect models come with 16-inch wheels and 215/65R16 tires. Some trims with optional 17-inch wheels use larger sizes, but the exact size depends on the wheel package and market. The definitive source is the vehicle’s placard and owner’s manual.
Common factory tire sizes by wheel option
The following outlines sizes typically found on 2018 Transit Connects, grouped by wheel diameter. Note that regional or fleet configurations may differ.
- 16-inch wheels — 215/65R16
- 17-inch wheels (optional): sizes vary by trim; common OE examples include 225/50R17 or 235/50R17 depending on wheel package
These figures reflect typical original equipment; always confirm on your specific vehicle, as there can be variations by market and trim.
How to verify your exact tire size
To ensure you fit the correct tires or replacements that match the vehicle's specifications, follow these steps:
- Inspect the door-jamb placard on the driver's side; it lists the original tire size and recommended cold inflation pressure.
- Read the sidewall of one of your current tires for the size stamp (for example, P215/65R16). This is the size currently installed on that wheel.
- Consult the owner's manual or Ford's official customer portal using your VIN to confirm the factory equipment size for the exact vehicle configuration.
- If you're replacing all four tires, aim to match the OE size and load index; for a spare, check if a temporary spare uses a different size.
In practice, most owners will be using 215/65R16 on 16-inch wheels; larger wheel configurations will vary by trim and market, and require matching sizes for performance and safety.
Where to find authoritative confirmation
For total certainty, contact a Ford dealer or use Ford's tire size lookup tool with your VIN; this ensures the size matches your build sheet and regional specifications.
Summary
The 2018 Ford Transit Connect does not have a single universal tyre size. The most common OE size is 215/65R16 on 16-inch wheels, while optional 17-inch wheel configurations use larger sizes that depend on the trim and market. Always verify the exact size on the door placard or in the owner's manual, and consult a Ford dealer or VIN-based lookup if you’re replacing tires to ensure correct fitment and safety.
