Fitment guide

A complete tire designation includes more than the wheel diameter. Record the full sidewall marking, then compare it with the vehicle manufacturer guidance. For a replacement program, repeat this process for each vehicle and axle group.
| Input | What to record | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | Make, model, year, VIN or platform and axle | Defines the application to review. |
| Tire size | Complete sidewall size and construction | Supports dimensional comparison with approved fitments. |
| Wheel | Rim diameter and width | Must fall within the tire manufacturer's approved range. |
| Load and speed | Required load index and speed rating | Helps establish the operating envelope. |
| Duty | Surface, climate, axle position and usage | Frames tread and construction trade-offs. |
| Order | Quantity, destination and required evidence | Clarifies the commercial and documentation request. |
Radial and bias-ply construction can suit different duty cycles: compare the manufacturer’s load and inflation guidance, terrain and expected service conditions for the exact sizes under consideration. Lower rolling resistance may involve trade-offs with wet grip or wear; compare documented results measured under comparable conditions rather than assuming one tire leads on every measure. For off-road or specialty tires, add the machine type, operating load, terrain and road transitions. For fleet use, a replacement schedule and service locations add context. Do not assume a tire is universally compatible because its diameter appears to match.
Standards and approvals have specific scopes. A management-system certificate is different from a product approval, and a marking required in one market may not address another. Ask for the evidence relevant to your exact product and destination.
