Seed pages are limited to the public TireFitLab size corpus. The long tail stays gated until demand data supports expansion.

How to read the table

Positive speedometer error means the vehicle travels faster and further than indicated. The tolerance verdict only checks overall diameter; it does not verify load rating, clearance, wheel fitment or local approval.
