In 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks covered a broad slice of the light-truck and crossover market, from the car-based Endeavor and Outlander to the midsize Raider pickup. That variety matters when you get into tires, because the year spans seven different radial sizes across three model lines rather than one shared fitment. The practical choice is less about bias-ply versus radial and more about identifying the exact model, then confirming whether your vehicle uses a 16-, 17-, or 18-inch wheel and which section width and profile belong on it. Starting with the correct model and wheel diameter will narrow the field quickly and point you to the right size family.
Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks
Seven tire sizes appear across 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicles, and they vary by model rather than being shared across the full range. The real decision starts with confirming whether you have an Endeavor, Outlander, or Raider, then matching the correct 16-, 17-, or 18-inch rim diameter before comparing tire style and use. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps ensure the right match.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Endeavor|Construction: Radial|Rim: 17-in rim
235/65R17 is a metric radial size with a 235-millimeter section width, a 65-series profile, and a 17-inch rim diameter. Product choices in this size are radial by construction, with tube type, sidewall style, and speed-rating details depending on the exact tire you choose. Because this size is specific to the Endeavor rather than shared across all 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks models, it should be matched to that crossover's wheel diameter and factory fitment family first.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Outlander|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16 in
215/70R16 is a metric radial size with a 215-millimeter section width, a 70-series profile, and a 16-inch rim diameter. This size is available from BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic, with RWL and wide whitewall sidewall styles; speed ratings vary by product, including R-rated choices capped at 106 mph alongside tires without a speed letter in the size marking. It is an Outlander-specific size, and the mix of all-terrain and whitewall options means the choice comes down to whether you want a more utility-oriented look or a more distinctive custom and collector-style presentation.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Outlander|Construction: Radial|Rim: 18-in rim
225/55R18 is a metric radial size with a 225-millimeter section width, a 55-series profile, and an 18-inch rim diameter. Product choices in this size are radial by construction, with brand, sidewall style, tube status, and speed-rating details depending on the exact tire selected. Because this size is used only on certain Outlander applications, confirming that your vehicle is equipped with the 18-inch wheel package is the key first step.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Raider|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16 in
265/70R16 is a metric radial size with a 265-millimeter section width, a 70-series profile, and a 16-inch rim diameter. BFGoodrich offers this size with an RWL sidewall, and the available example carries an S speed rating, which corresponds to a 112 mph ceiling. This Raider-specific size suits buyers who want to stay with a truck-oriented radial in the correct diameter and a wider, taller 16-inch fitment family.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Raider|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16-in rim
255/65R16 is a metric radial size with a 255-millimeter section width, a 65-series profile, and a 16-inch rim diameter. Product choices in this size are radial by construction, with sidewall style, tube status, and speed-rating details depending on the exact tire chosen. Since this size belongs to the Raider and is not universal across 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks, buyers should verify the original wheel and tire placard before moving ahead.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Raider|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16 in
245/70R16 is a metric radial size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 70-series profile, and a 16-inch rim diameter. BFGoodrich offers this size with an RWL sidewall, and the available example carries an S speed rating, which corresponds to a 112 mph ceiling. It is specific to Raider applications, so the practical decision is to confirm that narrower 16-inch truck fitment before choosing among tread and appearance styles.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Raider|Construction: Radial|Rim: 17-in rim
265/65R17 is a metric radial size with a 265-millimeter section width, a 65-series profile, and a 17-inch rim diameter. Product choices in this size are radial by construction, with brand, sidewall style, tube status, and speed-rating details depending on the exact tire selected. This size is used on Raider models rather than across the whole 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks range, so wheel diameter confirmation matters before anything else.
Three models are covered for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks, and they do not all use the same tire size. In practical terms, that means year and make alone are not enough here; the Endeavor, Outlander, and Raider each sit in different fitment families, and some models also split between multiple wheel diameters. Select your model below to narrow the fitment history and see the tire sizes that apply to that specific vehicle.
2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Endeavor
The 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Endeavor was Mitsubishi's midsize crossover, aimed at buyers who wanted SUV utility with more road-oriented proportions than a traditional body-on-frame truck. Its tire fitment centers on a 17-inch wheel package, making model identification straightforward before you move into size and tire-style selection.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Outlander represented Mitsubishi's compact crossover approach, blending passenger-car packaging with light-utility versatility. It spans both 16-inch and 18-inch wheel fitments, so wheel diameter is especially important to confirm before choosing a tire for an Outlander.

215/70R16 — radial, utility or custom-style fitment
The 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Raider was Mitsubishi's midsize pickup entry, sharing the more rugged mission you would expect from a truck in this class. Raider fitments span both 16-inch and 17-inch wheels, with several width and profile combinations depending on the exact configuration.
Five products are available across three tire sizes for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicles. The 215/70R16 has three radial choices from BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic in RWL and wide whitewall styles, while 265/70R16 and 245/70R16 each have one BFGoodrich radial with RWL sidewalls; confirm your size first, since speed ratings can vary between products.
These FAQs sort out the model-by-model size differences across 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks, explain what the metric size codes mean, and cover wheel fit, sidewall style, highway use, and long-term care for vehicles that may see intermittent collector-style driving.
Size Basics & Fitment
What tire sizes fit 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicles?
2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicles use seven sizes across three model lines. The Endeavor uses 235/65R17. The Outlander uses 215/70R16 or 225/55R18. The Raider uses 265/70R16, 255/65R16, 245/70R16, or 265/65R17. Where rim-width guidance is available, 215/70R16 suits 5.5 to 7.0-inch wheels in one application and 5.50 to 7.50-inch wheels in another, 245/70R16 suits 6.5 to 7.0-inch wheels, and 265/70R16 suits 7.0 to 8.5-inch wheels.
That spread means there is no single year-wide tire size for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks. The first checkpoint is the model, and the second is the wheel diameter already on the vehicle, since these fitments span 16-, 17-, and 18-inch rims. If your vehicle has replacement wheels or a non-original trim package, compare the tire placard, the current tire sidewall, and the wheel itself before settling on a size.
What does 215/70R16 mean on a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tire?
On a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tire, 215/70R16 is a metric radial size. The 215 is the nominal section width in millimeters, 70 is the aspect ratio, the R means radial construction, and 16 is the wheel diameter in inches. For 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks, that size belongs to the Outlander rather than the Endeavor or Raider.
Knowing how to read that code helps you separate wheel fit from tire style. A 215/70R16 whitewall and a 215/70R16 all-terrain still share the same basic dimensional code, but they serve very different visual and usage goals. Once the size is confirmed, you can compare sidewall treatment, brand, load rating, and intended character without accidentally crossing into a different wheel diameter.
Do all 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks models use the same tire size?
No, 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks models do not share a single tire size. The Endeavor uses one 17-inch size, the Outlander spans one 16-inch size and one 18-inch size, and the Raider covers several 16-inch truck sizes plus one 17-inch size. Even within a single model line, more than one size can appear depending on the wheel package or configuration.
That matters because year and make alone are not enough to choose correctly for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks. If the model is uncertain, start by checking the badge, body style, and wheel diameter, then compare the tire size on the sidewall to the vehicle placard. That process is especially important on Raiders and Outlanders, where multiple fitment paths exist within the same model family.
Buying the Right Tire
What sidewall styles are available for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires?
Sidewall style varies by size on 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks. The 215/70R16 used on the Outlander is available in both RWL and wide whitewall form, while the 245/70R16 and 265/70R16 Raider sizes are available in RWL form. Those are all radial tires, but the visual character is very different between a truck-style raised white letter tire and a whitewall radial.
For a factory-looking truck or SUV appearance, RWL tends to suit utility-oriented applications better. Wide whitewalls take the same dimensional size in a much more custom or retro direction and can make sense for a personalized Outlander build. The key is to choose the sidewall style after the fitment is correct, not the other way around, since the available appearances are tied to specific sizes.
What brands make tires for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicles?
Three brands cover the available 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks products here: BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic. BFGoodrich appears in 215/70R16, 245/70R16, and 265/70R16, while Coker Classic and American Classic appear in 215/70R16. That gives the Outlander's 16-inch size the broadest brand spread among the sizes with current product coverage.
Brand choice usually follows the kind of look and use you want. BFGoodrich leans toward truck and all-terrain styling in these applications, while Coker Classic and American Classic bring wide whitewall options into the same 215/70R16 dimensional fitment. Once you know your correct size, brand comparison becomes a matter of sidewall appearance, load rating, and overall character rather than basic wheel compatibility.
What is the difference between the BFGoodrich and whitewall radial choices for a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Outlander?
Within the 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks Outlander 215/70R16 size, the BFGoodrich option is an RWL all-terrain radial with a 100/97R speed and load marking, a 1,765-pound maximum load at 50 psi, and a 34-pound weight. The Coker Classic and American Classic alternatives use wide whitewall sidewalls, weigh 26 pounds each, and carry maximum loads of 2,094 pounds at 32 psi and 1,709 pounds at 35 psi respectively.
That means the difference is not dimensional fitment but product character and supporting specifications. One path emphasizes a more truck-like visual style, while the whitewall radials move toward a custom look with different load-and-pressure pairings. Compare the sidewall you want, the wheel width range when stated, and the way you use the vehicle before making a final choice within that Outlander size.
Fitting & Setup
What rim width do 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires require?
Rim-width guidance for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks varies by size. The 215/70R16 appears with fitment ranges of 5.5 to 7.0 inches and 5.50 to 7.50 inches depending on the tire. The 245/70R16 suits 6.5 to 7.0-inch rims, and the 265/70R16 suits 7.0 to 8.5-inch rims. Those ranges apply to the specific sizes, not to the entire year and make as a whole.
A wheel can share the correct diameter and still be the wrong width for a given tire, so diameter alone is not enough. If your Mitsubishi has aftermarket wheels, confirm the actual wheel width before choosing among the Raider or Outlander options that are close in overall category but different in section width. Staying within the tire maker's approved width range helps preserve proper tread shape and steering behavior.
Do 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires require inner tubes?
The available 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks products here are radial tires, and none are marked with a tube-type designation in the size details shown. That points toward tubeless construction for the tires with visible product coverage, including 215/70R16, 245/70R16, and 265/70R16. As always, the wheel itself still has to be suitable for tubeless use and in sound condition.
Tube questions matter most when an older wheel has corrosion, damage, or a bead-seat issue, but 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks fitments are modern enough that the wheel condition check is usually the bigger concern. Before mounting, inspect the valve stem, bead seats, and inner barrel condition. If the wheels are original and have seen years of service, a careful leak check after installation is worthwhile.
Can the original 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks wheels be used with all tire sizes?
Original 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks wheels cannot be treated as universal across all seven sizes, because the fitments span 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch rim diameters. An Outlander 225/55R18 requires an 18-inch wheel, an Endeavor 235/65R17 requires a 17-inch wheel, and several Raider options require 16-inch wheels. Matching diameter comes first, before width and tire style are considered.
Within a single diameter family, wheel width still needs to be checked against the tire's approved range when that guidance is available. That is especially relevant on Raider sizes such as 245/70R16 and 265/70R16, where the recommended wheel widths differ. If the truck or crossover has changed hands or wheels over the years, verify the wheel dimensions directly rather than assuming the current setup is original.
Maintenance, Storage & Longevity
How should I store a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks when the tires are fitted?
A 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicle stores best on clean, properly inflated tires in a cool, dry, dark space away from ozone sources such as electric motors, battery chargers, and welders. Keep the tires out of direct sunlight and away from standing moisture on concrete or dirt floors. Even though these fitments are radial rather than bias-ply, long static periods can still create temporary flat-spotting and accelerate sidewall aging if the vehicle never moves.
Rolling the vehicle periodically helps change the tire contact patch and reduces stress in one area of the casing. For longer storage, many collectors use tire cradles or jack stands placed correctly to reduce continuous load, while still keeping suspension concerns in mind. Before the vehicle returns to regular use, check inflation, inspect for cracking, and drive gently at first if it has sat for an extended period.
How long do tires on a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks typically last?
For a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicle, tire age is usually more important than tread depth alone, especially if the vehicle sees limited annual mileage. A good working rule is to begin closer evaluation once tires are around five to seven years old and to treat ten years as a point where replacement deserves serious consideration regardless of remaining tread. The DOT date code on the sidewall is the starting point for that timeline.
Low-use vehicles can look healthy while the rubber compound and internal structure are aging out. That is why a lightly driven Outlander, Endeavor, or Raider still needs an age check, not just a tread check. If the date code, service history, or storage conditions raise doubts, replacement is often the more sensible move than trying to stretch more years out of an aging set.
How often should tires on a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks be inspected?
Tires on a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicle should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer highway outing. Check pressure, visible tread wear, cuts, bulges, punctures, and sidewall cracking, and make sure the tire is not losing air between uses. On trucks and SUVs that may sit for stretches, a close look at valve stems is just as important as the tire itself.
A quick walk-around catches many problems before they turn into vibration, poor handling, or a roadside failure. On a Raider, include a check for uneven wear that could point to alignment or suspension issues after rough-road use. On an Endeavor or Outlander, look closely for shoulder wear or age cracking if the vehicle sees mostly short trips and long periods parked between drives.
Safety & Road Use
Are 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires safe for highway driving?
2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires can be suitable for highway driving when the correct size is used, the tires are in sound condition, and the speed rating matches realistic use. The available speed-rated examples include an R-rated 215/70R16, capped at 106 mph, and S-rated 245/70R16 and 265/70R16 tires, capped at 112 mph. Those ceilings are well above ordinary highway speeds, but age, inflation, loading, and overall vehicle condition matter just as much in real use.
On a 2007 vehicle, the tire is only one part of the roadworthiness picture. Brakes, shocks, steering parts, and alignment all shape how safe the vehicle feels at speed, especially on a midsize pickup like the Raider. If the tires are older, unevenly worn, or of unknown history, solve that first rather than assuming a favorable speed symbol alone makes the setup ready for sustained highway travel.
What inflation pressure should I use for 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires?
Inflation pressure on 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks tires should start with the vehicle's factory recommendation, then be checked against the tire maker's own sizing and load guidance. Among the available examples, 215/70R16 appears with load-and-pressure pairings of 1,765 pounds at 50 psi, 2,094 pounds at 32 psi, and 1,709 pounds at 35 psi. The 245/70R16 appears at 2,535 pounds at 65 psi, and the 265/70R16 appears at 3,195 pounds at 80 psi.
Those figures are maximum load capacities at stated pressures, not a blanket instruction to run every tire at its sidewall maximum. A crossover-sized Outlander tire and a light-truck Raider tire can have very different pressure needs even when both are mounted correctly. Use the placard and the specific tire's rating together, and avoid transferring one size's pressure habits to another size just because the vehicles share a make and year.
What should I check before taking a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks on a longer drive?
Before a longer drive in a 2007 Mitsubishi Trucks vehicle, inspect every tire for cracking, cuts, bulges, punctures, uneven wear, and proper cold inflation. Check the spare as well, since a neglected spare is common on older daily drivers and weekend vehicles alike. A longer-trip check should also include valve stems, tread depth across the tire, and any signs that the vehicle has been sitting long enough to develop flat spots or air loss.
That tire inspection should happen alongside a broader mechanical once-over suited to a vehicle of this age. Brakes, fluids, belts, battery condition, and suspension components all deserve attention before a road trip. If the vehicle recently changed wheels or tires, recheck lug torque and verify that the installed size matches the intended model fitment so you are not troubleshooting preventable issues once the trip is underway.
