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.
MethodologyBefore 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.
