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 the recommendations of the car manufacturers. 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 own such technical nuances. This situation makes automatic system selection is an extremely useful tool in preventing the adoption of the wrong choice when buying tires and rims. And there is plenty to choose from, thanks to the widest range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

So, after rereading 187 pages of this topic, I will try to summarize :)
Disks.
At regular departure ET38 maximum disc width 8.5J... For those who like to deviate from regular departure: upon departure ET32 disks fit 9J(checked Zonder), upon departure ET45 fit disks wide 8J(checked Gena_Bukin).
As for the diameter, it is possible to install discs from 16 to 22 inches. 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 sizes tested by forum users. The final wheel diameter is indicated in parentheses for each size.
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, disc overhang affects, rubber different manufacturers slightly different in height ... In general, use these dimensions at your own risk, or remove the plastic wheel arch liners and there will be no problems.R17

I hope I have closed the question for you what, where, when.P.S. They convinced me not to put 235/60 R18 for the winter, put 225/60 R18. Summer will definitely be 235/60.
The manufacturer allows two options to be used.
- 215 / 70R16. These tires are suitable for vehicle operation in various conditions. They provide good grip on the paved surface of city streets and suburban highways, and are able to withstand the stresses arising on country roads.
- 225 / 55R18. It is advisable to install tires of this standard size if the machine is operated on well-paved roads, and the driver prefers an active driving style. The low profile improves handling, but leaves the cord vulnerable to shock loads that inevitably occur when colliding with obstacles or wheels hitting holes.
Of course, the transition from one landing diameter to another (from R16 to R18) is possible only after replacing the rims.
Tire sizes for previous generations Mitsubishi Outlander
The same parameters should be guided by when choosing tires for. Despite the somewhat large dimensions of the Xl-marked crossover, the weight of the car and the design of its chassis have changed slightly. The requirements of the developers for the characteristics of tires remain the same.
On cars produced since 2002 and supplied to Russia since 2003, tires of other standard sizes are used:
- 215 / 60R16 are installed on rims with a landing diameter of 16 inches (a large profile height does not allow the use of wheel arches);
- 215 / 55R17.
The complete set of wheels with a landing diameter of 18 inches is not provided for by the design of the crossover.
Problems to Avoid
On the websites of online stores, you can be offered tires 225 / 60R17 and even 235 / 45R19. Having installed such tires on the Mitsubishi Outlander, the car owner, sometimes without realizing it, creates additional difficulties for himself. Among possible problems these.
Equipping the crossover with tires too big size, you may be faced with 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 with an 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 who want to purchase tires for Mitsubishi Outlander need to know the following.
What else to pay attention to
Tire size, seasonality and tread type are not exhaustive characteristics of a car's wheels. Attention should be paid to the lifting capacity and speed index.
- Regardless of the size, tires with a coefficient of at least 98 are installed on cars of all modifications. Since an increase in the 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. For the manufacture of their products, firms use different materials, characterized by plasticity, wear resistance and other parameters. The choice of a brand depends on individual preferences.
In conclusion, let's compare the dimensions and parameters of the tires with which the Mitsubishi Outlander and its main competitors are equipped.
car model | Mitsubishi Outlander 2 and 3 | Mitsubishi Outlander 1 | Nissan X-Trail 2.0 | Honda CR-V 2.0 | Toyota RAV-4 2.0 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Allowable tire size | 215 / 70R16 | 215 / 60R16 | 215 / 65R16 | 215 / 65R16 | 215 / 70R16 |
225 / 55R18 | 215 / 55R17 | 215 / 60R17 | 225 / 65R17 | 225 / 65R17 | |
225 / 60R18 | 235 / 55R18 |
It is easy to come to the conclusion that most manufacturers install tires that are close in size, considering their characteristics to be optimal for cars of this class.
Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Mitsubishi outlander, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of the car manufacturers. 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 own such technical nuances. This situation makes the automatic matching system an extremely useful tool in preventing wrong choices when purchasing tires and rims. And it is very wide, due to the variety of such products presented in the Mosavtoshin online store.
