The Lincoln Corsair targets compact-luxury buyers who want a step up from the Ford Escape without paying European-import money. It shares its platform with the Escape, but buyers still expect a smoother, quieter ride. The Grand Touring PHEV adds one more wrinkle: tire rolling resistance affects electric-only range, not just fuel economy.

2020-current Corsair: 225/60R18 (Standard base), 225/55R19 (Standard upgrade, Reserve, Grand Touring), 245/45R20 (Reserve, Grand Touring optional).

Frequently asked
How much do Lincoln Corsair tires cost?
225/60R18: $130–185 per tire. 245/45R20: $150–210 per tire. A set of four installed (225/60R18): $520–740.
Does tire choice affect the Corsair Grand Touring's electric range?
Yes, modestly. Low-rolling-resistance tires like the Continental PureContact LS or Michelin CrossClimate2 reduce the energy needed to keep the PHEV moving, which helps preserve electric-only miles. A heavier off-road-style or ultra-high-performance tire pulls that range down a bit — stick with tires built for efficiency on this trim.
Should I replace all four tires on my Corsair at once?
On an all-wheel-drive Corsair, replacing all four together is the safe call, since big tread-depth differences can stress the AWD system. Rotate regularly and the set wears evenly toward that point. If one tire is damaged early in its life, ask the shop whether shaving a new one to match or replacing in pairs is the better route.
How do I know when my Corsair needs new tires?
Check tread depth with the penny test and watch for wear bars flush with the tread, sidewall cracks, or a new vibration at speed. On the Grand Touring PHEV, a quiet drop in electric range can also hint that worn tires are working harder. If you're unsure, most shops will inspect them for free.
