How do I know what size tire I need for my vehicle?
Our website offers a SEARCH BY VEHICLE option. If you enter your vehicle information into this search option, it will display the original Equipment Tire Size your vehicle came with.
Another, and the most accurate way to determine your tire size, is to check the right-hand side of your driver’s door jam, locate the tire placard with critical tire size, dimensions, and tire pressure information.
What do the numbers and letters indicated after the tire size on my tires mean?
The number and letters represent the load and speed rating index for that applicable tire.
Example 94W:
– 94 is a load carrying index which indicates the maximum weight a single tire can carry at its maximum load-sustaining air pressure. In this case a 94 index supports up to 1356 lbs.
– W indicates the maximum speed a H rated (168 MPH) tire can sustain at its rated load speed ratings can range from L to Y with different maximum speeds indexed to each letter.
How can I determine how old my tires are?
It’s fairly easy to determine the age of your tires by checking the DOT code on the tire’s sidewall. The last 4 digits of the DOT code will tell you the week and year the tire was manufactured. Example: 2824 means this tire was built in the 28th week of 2024.
