  • + Plus Sizing Guide 2015
    EDITOR’S NOTE: The following passages on tire replacement are paraphrased extractions from the RMA “Replacement Guidelines for Passenger and Light Truck Tires” manual. The complete manual is available for purchase. TIRE REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES FOR PASSENGER & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES WHAT TIRE IS RIGHT FOR THE VEHICLE When tires need to be replaced, do not guess what tire is right for the vehicle. For the answer first look at the vehicle tire placard, which is usually located on the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box, or fuel door (or check the vehicle owner’s manual). The vehicle tire placard tells you the size of the tires, including the spare, that were installed on the vehicle as original equipment (“OE”). It also includes the recommended cold inflation pressures for the tires on the front/rear axles and for the spare tire. It may also include seating capacity and combined weight of occupants and cargo. If your vehicle does not have a vehicle tire placard, check your owner's manual or consult with the vehicle manufacturer, tire manufacturer, or a tire dealer. IMPORTANT Before replacing tires, ALWAYS refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement tire restrictions and recommendations. ALWAYS check the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for the OE tire size, load capacity, inflation pressure, and speed rating information before replacing a tire with a different size and construction. It is not always possible to select the same tire size for a replacement tire. NEVER choose a smaller size, with less load carrying capacity than the specified size on the vehicle tire placard.
