When determining the appropriate tire size for your vehicle, inspect the sticker located on the inside of the driver’s door jamb. This sticker provides detailed information about the recommended tire size dimensions for both the front and rear wheels. It’s essential to cross-reference this information with the current tire size on your vehicle to ensure a match.
Comparing the sizes on the sticker and the existing tires is a key step. If both sizes align, you can be highly confident that the current tires are the correct ones for your car. This verification process helps ensure optimal safety, performance, and adherence to your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
If this sticker is not present, or you want further confirmation, you can check the vehicle’s manual which will detail the tire size required.
Bear in mind that the techniques outlined above will only give you the correct tire size if the car’s rims have not been changed. If you believe the rims may have been changed, it important to use the tire size of the tires currently on the car – or take your car to a tire garage to have them determine the size of the rim.
