How to Know What Tire Size to Purchase

Choosing the right tire size is crucial for your vehicle's performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you determine the correct tire size for your car:

Check Your Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual

Your vehicle’s owner’s manual is the most reliable source for tire size information. It will provide the recommended tire size along with other essential specifications.

Look at the Tire Sidewall

Every tire has a series of numbers and letters printed on its sidewall, indicating the tire's size. For example, a tire size might read P215/65R15.

Here's a breakdown of what these numbers mean:

P: Type of tire (P for passenger vehicle).

215: Tire width in millimeters.

65: Aspect ratio (height of the tire's cross-section as a percentage of its width).

R: Radial construction.

15: Diameter of the wheel in inches.

Use an Online Tire Size Calculator

Online tools and calculators can help you cross-reference and verify the correct tire size for your vehicle. Input your vehicle’s make, model, and year to find compatible tire sizes.
