Tyres and wheels for Ford LTD, wheel size on Форд ЛТД

Tires on Ford LTD (Форд)

The Ford LTD was produced from 1965 to 1986 and represented a line of full-size sedans and coupes. The name "LTD" literally hints at "Limited", meaning the car was supposed to embody maximum comfort, status, and space for passengers. In essence, the model was a symbol of the era of large cars: a long hood, smooth body lines, and a maximally soft suspension created a sense of floating, which was especially appreciated on uneven city roads.

First Iteration

Starting in 1965, the LTD offered buyers a luxurious interior that immediately stood out from the usual Ford mid-range cars. The design was based on a massive platform with independent front suspension and a rear beam with leaf springs, but with comfort settings. The engine range included "atmospheric" V8s, from 4.7 to 6.4 liters, paired with 3- or 4-speed automatic transmissions. The car instantly gained popularity among those who valued soft ride and spacious interior.

The interior of the first LTD was truly "American": wide seats with velour or genuine leather upholstery, a dashboard with large dials and control blocks, simple and logical instrument layout. Already in the basic configuration, there were air conditioning, AM/FM radio, and electric adjustments for the front seats.

Second Iteration

From the beginning of the 1970s, the LTD was offered with a more angular body, which, despite the large number of straight lines and angles, retained the elegance inherent in its predecessor. Its structure included high-strength steel elements, which, along with new shock absorbers, improved directional stability and reduced roll in turns. Under the hood, there were still "atmospheric" V8s, but now with a volume of 5 to 7.5 liters, providing a sufficiently sized car with quite acceptable dynamics.

The interior became more spacious, the trim materials more high-quality, noise insulation and seat heating improved. The control panel acquired a more modern look, while the comfort of the passengers was still a priority: armrests, adjustable backrests, and a huge reserve of space in the leg area.

Third Iteration

The third-generation car, released in 1979, significantly decreased in size while preserving the key features: rear-wheel drive, V8 engines, and "smooth" suspension settings. The lineup was expanded with a 5-door station wagon. Despite the changes in dimensions, the car still provided passengers with the "signature" American spaciousness inside, combined with extensive equipment.

Fourth Iteration

Due to the fuel crisis that broke out at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, the fourth-generation car, presented in 1983, moved to the so-called "mid-size", becoming significantly smaller. Additionally, it used the Fox platform, which provided a significant reduction in weight — almost 300 kg. Externally, against the background of its predecessor, the car stood out with a less angular body, which, however, retained the extended hood. But inside, there were already different power units, with the base being a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, and the top one being a 3.8-liter V6. Depending on the version, they were combined with 3- and 4-speed automatic transmissions. The first had a "manual" switching mode, and the second had an "overdrive". Another difference was the equipment, which was significantly simpler than before — mainly due to fabric upholstery.
