To find the correct tire size for your vehicle, you need to know its year, make and model information. this information is best found in one of the following places:
1) the spare tire and jack compartment placard, which may be mounted either inside or outside of the trunk. 2) the vehicle identification number (vin). 3) a title manual available from the division of motor vehicles. 4) a manufacturer’s certificate that came with your car when new. 5) your sales receipt from when you purchased it new. 6) if all else fails, we recommend visiting your local auto parts store where a trained professional can assist in getting you on your way.”
how do i know what size tires will fit my car?
