| [ Plus Size Tire Guide ] Replacement tires - replacing original equipment tires for your car or truck explained. Find out all you need to know to buy wheels and tires at Wheelstudio.com. When making a replacement tire choice, always first check your placard to get the original tire information - it is always possible that what you currently have mounted on the vehicle is not original equipment. Then, using the following guidelines for tire replacement choose a new tire size and load capacity that will meet or exceed the original requirements. TIRE OVERALL DIAMETER: As noted previously, vehicle manufacturers choose tires with a certain overall diameter for the particular design vehicle. Vehicle systems such as ABS, odometer speedometer, and onboard sensors and computers may be affected by a change in overall diameter. If you choose a replacement tire size that exceeds your vehicle design criteria range for tire diameter, you may have to alter vehicle systems, suspension, and alignment to safely use it. Call us if you have any questions about your tires. Safety note: On Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) and light trucks, any increase in tire overall diameter, and the lifting of vehicle suspension to accommodate the larger size may result in changes of vehicle ride height, with resultant changes in rollover characteristics, braking distances, and handling. You must ensure any tire size and suspension changes allow you to maintain safe operating control under all driving conditions. |
