FAQs
Driving in the winter here in Huron county can be dangerous. Snowy, icy and otherwise compromising driving conditions can lead to any number of difficult on-the-road situations. That’s why it’s important that your vehicle be well equipped and ready. While winter tires aren’t mandatory in Ontario like they are in other provinces, they are a good idea for anyone who plans on driving in cold weather conditions.
For people who are new to owning a car, or buying a new set of tires for the first time, it can be a bit confusing to find the right size that fits your vehicle. Cars, trucks, vans and SUVs all come in different sizes, so they require tires with different widths, profile height and rim diameter.
When shopping for tires you will see something like this: P195/65R/15. That represents a type of code that will tell you everything you need to know about what size tire to get. Here’s how this example breaks down:
- P = This indicates that the tire you need is for a passenger car. You can also find tire ratings with LT (light truck), T (temporary, for spare tires) or ST (special trailer)
- 195 = the width of the tires you need, measured in millimetres from the inner sidewall to the outer sidewall
- 65 = the number indicates the aspect ratio, or profile height, of the tire. This is determined by dividing the height of the tire from the rim by the width. In this case, 65R means that the tire’s height is 65 percent of the width
- R = The letter represents the type of internal construction of the tire. R means the tire has radial internal construction, which almost all passenger vehicles use. The other letter you may see is D to mean diagonal or bias ply construction, but they are mostly used for heavy-duty vehicles for things like agriculture
- 15 = the last number represents the diameter measured in inches for the rim that the tire can be mounted on
The next question you’re probably asking is how you can find out all of that information? There are a number of potential locations where you can look up the tire size code for your vehicle:
- the inside of the driver’s door: look for a sticker that lists vehicle capacity weight, seating capacity, tire pressure and tire size
the inside of your gas hatch or glove box: not many cars will have a sticker in these locations, but some do - your owner’s manual: will either tell you where to find the sticker or tell you the tire size code
- the sidewall of your current tires
