It varies by trim and wheel size, 3 factory fitments exist, from 235/55R17 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

What is the bolt pattern on a 2013–2019 Ford Escape?

5x108. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

What should the tire pressure be on a 2013–2019 Ford Escape?

35 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

What is the lug nut torque for a 2013–2019 Ford Escape?

100 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

Does the 2013–2019 Ford Escape come with a spare tire?

Compact temporary spare under the cargo floor (some trims optional).
