Figures are nominal geometry calculated from the size code. A tire’s real measured diameter varies by brand, model and tread depth; check the manufacturer’s spec sheet before you buy, and confirm clearance, load index and speed rating for your vehicle.

How we work

Sourced specifications

Sizes, load and speed ratings, UTQG grades and warranties come from the manufacturer or the official tables, and we link to them.

Honest about testing

We do not run our own tire tests. When we cite a braking or treadwear result, we credit the published test it came from.

Math you can check

Every calculator shows its formula and its limits, so you can verify the numbers before you spend money.
