The European-style Ford Transit van is what took the place of the old Econoline van in the Ford truck lineup, starting back in 2003 as a collaboration between Ford Europe and Ford North America. The Transit is usually configured as a cargo van, although passenger and raised-roof versions are available. The Ford Transit is powered by a choice of V6 engines, delivering 25 mpg city/29 mpg highway, with an AWD option. For model year ‘12 the Transit 150 was available with Electric, XL, XLT and XLT Premium trim levels. The Continental ContiProContact would have been the OEM tire for this model Ford Transit Connect.
Thanks to its weight and load capacity, when you shop 2012 Ford Transit Connect tires, commercial-grade van and light truck tires are the way to go. Think about tires like the Michelin Agilis Cross Climate, Firestone Transforce CV, Hankook Dynapro HT (RH12) (40k mile warranty) and Nokian One HT (55k mile warranty). These would all be great options for your 2012 Ford Transit Connect!
