How to Tell That Your Tires Need to be Changed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere can I find the tire size information on my tire?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n On the sidewall of your tire, there should be a long number<\/strong> that is likely preceded by a letter. This may look intimidating, but it\u2019s kind of like a secret code- once you have the key, you\u2019ll be able to extract all sorts of useful information from this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo get our tire size figure,<\/strong> we need to find width, aspect ratio, and rim sizes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWidth<\/strong>: The tire width should be the first number on your tire, generally three digits. It should be followed by a slash mark.<\/li>Aspect Ratio<\/strong>: After the slash mark, the next number is the aspect ratio.

This will generally be two digits occurring at the end of the initial number\/letter sequence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nNote: If the format of your number is different from the one described above, you likely have a different type of tire optimized for off-road performance, which this post does not apply to.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\nRead More: What tires should I get to replace my old ones?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What size tires will fit my car?
