                      How to Selecting the right tire size for your car



You need to understand three things when buying new tires for your car. size, speed, and carrying capacity. Making the right choice is very important to ensure optimal performance, safety, and energy efficiency. Fortunately, all of this information is easy to find. You can find it in your car's driver's door, the fuel filler flap, or the glove compartment. Also, note your vehicle documents and the information from the tire manufacturer.

When considering tire size, there are two simple points you need to know.

First, the replacement tires must be the same size, load rating, and speed rating recommended by the vehicle or tire manufacturer. Second, replacement tires must not be smaller or smaller than the original specifications.

In addition, the size must meet the vehicle's speed rating and load range requirements. The load indicator and speed indicator together make up the complete service description of a passenger tire. It must comply with the information on the vehicle's papers.

  • Load Index 

The load index is the maximum capacity of a passenger car tire. It is calculated from the range of maximum permissible load per axle between two tires. 

  • Speed ​​rating

The speed ​​rating is also an important factor in tire selection. The speed of the tire must not be less than the maximum speed of the vehicle. The speed rate indicates the maximum speed allowed. (when fully loaded) of the tire and is it suitable for your car

Replacing fewer than four tires

For optimum safety and performance, replace all four tires at the same time. Although it is possible to change less than four tires at a time, you should follow some guidelines regarding tire size. If you're only replacing one or two tires, for example, make sure each one is the same size and has the same load index and speed rating specified by the automaker. When replacing only two tires, mount both on the rear axle wheels. The reason for this is that newer tires will have a much better grip, especially on wet roads, and will reduce the risk of hydroplaning. It is not recommended to replace a single tire as it may affect the vehicle's suspension or drivetrain and cause excessive tire tread wear. But if a single tire change is unavoidable, pair the spare tire with the deepest tread depth, then mount both on the rear axle.
