Question

What tires fit my car?

You can check the existing tire’s sidewall, the car’s owner’s manual, or the sticker in the doorjamb on the driver’s side to find out the exact tire size for your car.

If you see P225/60R16 written on the current tire, it implies that the tire width is 225 millimeters, it has a sidewall aspect ratio of 60%, and the wheel diameter is 16 inches.

You can try one of these to find the right tire size.

  • You can see a combination of letters and numbers printed on the sidewall of your car’s existing tires. That will indicate the size of the tire used in your car.
  • Your car’s owner’s manual will have an exclusive section detailing the tire specifications, like the size, pressure, etc.
  • Most cars will have a sticker on the doorjamb at the driver’s side that details the actual tire size and suggested pressure.
