Lincoln MKZ tire size

Original tire sizes for the Lincoln MKZ, model years 2007 through 2020. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Check this first
Front and rear Same size One size fits all four corners on the fitments we list.
Wheel sizes 17", 18" The wheel package decides which one your car has.
Tire sizes listed 2 One size per model year across the years we cover.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?

Lincoln does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

Every US car built since 2003 carries this placard. It also gives the pressures, which the sidewall does not: the number molded into the tire is the maximum it can hold, not what your car wants.

Lincoln MKZ tires: common questions

What size tires does a Lincoln MKZ take?

The most common original size is 245/45R18. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my Lincoln MKZ?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.

Where is the tire size on a Lincoln MKZ?

Open the driver's door and look at the white and yellow placard on the door jamb or the B-pillar. The same size is also molded into the sidewall of the tires currently on the car, unless someone changed them.

The 2020 Lincoln MKZ came from the factory on 245/45R18. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2019 Lincoln MKZ take?

The 2019 Lincoln MKZ came from the factory on 245/45R18. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.
