Mercury Mariner Premier - can 2008 17" rims be moved over to a 2010 ?

Asked by wgolden001 Oct 11, 2019 at 04:01 PM about the 2008 Mercury Mariner Premier AWD

Question type: General

I have a 2008 Mercury Mariner Premier and I am buying a 2010 Mercury
Mariner Premier.  My 2008 has 17" rims and new 17" Michelin tires.  Can those
tires and wheels be used on the 2010 model?

1 Answer

I was trading in my 2008 Mercury Mariner with new 17 inch Michelin tires and expensive wheels. I was buying a 2010 Mercury Mariner with stock 16 inch wheels, 2 new tires and 2 worn out tires. I wanted to swap the wheels and tires. After a lot of internet research, and speaking with two Ford Parts & Service folks, I was assured they would be compatible. BUT it turns out mine were NOT because the tire air pressure sensors were different. I understand there are only two kinds of sensors, and lucky me had each kind. This would not have been such a big issue, but I was buying a used car in Columbus OH, 3 hours south of me. So I was trying to assure compatibility before buying the car. Basically the resolution was I did not swap the wheels. Had the two cars been closer to each other, I could have had them checked out before the car purchase.
