Shop For Tires
Welcome to our Tire Selector tool, which lets you shop for tires quickly and easily. Use “Shop by Vehicle” if you aren’t sure what size tires fit your vehicle. Or, if you already know the tire size you need, use “Shop by Tire Size” to see all your tire buying options.
Finding the tire size
You can find the tire size listed right on the sidewall of the tire. It will be a combination of numbers and letters and will look something like:
P205/55R16 91H.
Cross Section - 205
Following the Service Type, we have a three digit number called the Section Width. This number is basically the tire width measured in millimeters. In our example we have a section width of 205, which means that the width of the tire is 205 millimeters (from inner sidewall to the outer sidewall).
Aspect Ratio - 55
After the section width there is typically a slash and a two digit number called the Aspect Ratio. The aspect ratio is a number that indicates the height of the sidewall (from the edge of the inner rim to the tread) in relation to the section width. In our example we have an aspect ratio of 55, this means that the height of the sidewall is 55% of our section width of 205mm. The higher the aspect ratio - the higher the sidewall, the lower the aspect ratio - the lower the sidewall. You may have heard the term "low-profile tires;" these are tires with a low aspect ratio, meaning they have very low or "thin" sidewalls.
Rim Diameter - 16
Next, we have the two digit number after the "R". This number is the wheel diameter measured in inches, and refers to the size rim that the tire fits on. In our example the tire would fit on a 16" rim.
