Best Tires for Ford Taurus
Purchased nokian Hakkapellitta R5's for my 98 ford taurus wagon. I will never recommend another tire, would only reccomend studded hakka's. I drive the 881 up north to conklin and back south to cold lake every 2 weeks (2 on 2 off shift) these wheels have 100% given me a false sense of security on the road because I am yet to lose any form of traction even starting from a stop sign on an incline.
Pros: false sense of security
Cons: only recommend studded

I had these tires on my 06 Taurus and really liked them but they are an old design, there is better tires and technology out there now.
Pros: good performance
Cons: old design

I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.
Pros: good enough grip
Cons: not Blizzak level

I’d recommend some sporty tires like Michelin pilot sport 4s or Pirelli p zero.
Pros: sporty tires

I did it last winter (edit I may have had 245/60/r18, so taller tire but not wider). They fit, but you definitely cant go any bigger. Minimal clearance of shocks on the front wheels plenty of space at the back. Probably threw off the speedometer a bit, did slightly raise the vehicle.
Pros: They fit, raised vehicle
Cons: minimal shock clearance

I had good experience with Pirelli P4 season. I put 75k miles on a 2008 awd ford taurus all highway mileage. No balance issues and even wearing. Worked reasonably well in my northeast pa winters.
Pros: even wearing, no issues

Mileage: 75000 km
My 2016 Ford Taurus has Toyo Celsius on it and they’re an all-season tire. They have snow treads on the inside half of the tread-face and highway treads on the outside half. Very nice for icy and snowy Montana roads and I don’t have to switch them out between winter and summer
Pros: nice for icy roads

I do have the exact same size on my 2019 Ford Taurus Limited. Can't remember exactly when I put them on without looking for the tire receipt, but I don't think they're anything special. They wear fast, & to me they're loud. Actually looking for some new tires too. But I know I won't be getting these again.
Cons: wear fast, loud

The o.e. tires where Continental Conti's but these results are from the present Michelin's. I didn't have the Conti's on long and unfortunately I never closely watched the MPG before going to the Michelins. the Conti's were slippery feeling and I see they are rated LRR, which I knew nothing about at the time. The mpg dropped w/ the Michelins... especially with lower pressure.
Cons: mpg dropped, lower pressure
