How this result is calculated

Computed from nominal tire-size geometry: diameter, circumference and speedometer error. It does not check vehicle placard approval, load/speed rating, rim-width range, wheel-arch, suspension or brake clearance.

Methodology

Before fitting

Check the vehicle placard and owner’s manual first.
Match or exceed the required load index and speed rating.
Confirm rim-width range, bolt pattern, hub bore, offset and fasteners.
Inspect wheel-arch, suspension and brake clearance under real vehicle load.
Check TPMS, cold pressure and local roadworthiness rules.
