General Rules for Replacing Tires

Replacement tires must have:

  • load carrying ability equal to or greater than required by vehicle placard
  • inflation pressure capability equal to or greater then the pressure specified by manufacturer

Tire Mixing

  • it is prefered that all 4 tires be the same size, speed rating, and construction (radial or bias)
  • match tire size designations in pairs on an axle, except for temporary use of a spare tire
  • if 2 radial and 2 non-radial tires are used, put the radials on the rear axle
  • snow tires should be applied in pairs to the drive axle (front or rear) or to all 4 positions
  • when studded snow tires are mounted on the front, they also must be mounted on the rear
  • match tire sizes and constructions on 4-wheel drive vehicles

Rim and Wheel Selection

  • mount tires only on approved rim widths
  • always check to be certain that the diameter designation for both tire and rim are the same.  For example:  a P225/75R15 tire must be mounted on a 15" rim
