Where do I find my size?

It’s molded into the rubber on the side of the tire. You want three numbers — width, aspect, and rim.

P225/45R17 on a tire sidewall: 225 is width, 45 is aspect, 17 is rim.

Read it like this

A common size looks like P225/45R17. Ignore the P and the R. The three numbers are what we need.

  1. Width — 225 How wide the tire is, in millimeters. First number after the P.
  2. Aspect — 45 Sidewall height as a percent of the width. The number after the slash.
  3. Rim — 17 Wheel diameter in inches. The number after the R.

Where to look

If the sidewall is torn or too dirty to read, check another tire on the same car, or call us at (312) 937-6047.
