Question: How do I pick the right tire size?

posted on 1/22/2018 2:38:48 PM
Answer: You can find your tire size in your vehicle’s owner manual or on the tire information sticker on your driver’s side door. This will list your original equipment (OE) tire size which is what the manufacturer approved to come standard on your vehicle.   Another option is to look at the size listed on your current tire’s sidewall. This lists the current size, speed rating and more.   You can search our tire catalog by your vehicle or size to find the right tires for you.
