We always recommend using the size that is listed on your vehicles placard (located in the driver's side doorjamb). If you need help with any other fitment, other than the vehicle's recommended size, please give us a call.
We always suggest using the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire specifications. Again, this information is located on the door placard.
"P" indicates a passenger tire. "LT" indicates a tire that is designed for light trucks, typically those requiring more weight carrying capacity. “ST” indicates the tire is designated for special trailer service.
The letter(s) preceding the tire size indicates the tire type (see above). In Metric sizes, the first three numbers indicate the tire width in millimeters. The next two numbers (usually after a /) is the aspect ratio (the ratio of height to width). The next letter(s) indicate some information about the construction or performance of the tire. The last two numbers indicate the diameter of wheel (in inches) the tire fits. Example: P205/60R15-----(P) indicates a passenger tire, (205) indicates tire width in millimeters, (60) indicates ratio of height to width. (R) Indicates that the tire is a radial tire. (15) Indicates wheel diameter in inches.
With numeric sizing, tires are sized with their height first in inches followed by an “X”. The next 4 numbers indicate the width in inches. An “R” indicating radial construction usually follows these four numbers. The last two numbers after the “R” are the rim diameter. For example a 31X10.50R15 is 31 inches tall, 10.5 inches wide and has a rim diameter of 15 inches.
"UTQG" stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading- A system developed by the Department of Transportation, which helps consumers compare and rate tires on tread wear, traction, and temperature. For example: a tire with a UTQG of 400 AB: The 400 is tread wear which represents the tire's comparative wear when measured against the government's mandated control tire, which is rated at 100. A tire rated at 400 would wear four times longer than the government's mandated tire. Traction and Temperature ratings are rated (A) superior, (B) good and (C) average. Traction represents the level of wet traction the tire possesses. Temperature rating shows the tires' ability to disperse heat build-up. Heat often causes a tire to deteriorate over time. Therefore, a tire that has a high temperature rating will disperse heat better than one with a low temperature rating. It is important to note that tires from different brands cannot be compared against each other in terms of their tread wear rating. IE a Michelin with a 600 tread wear rating will not necessarily last twice as long as a Goodyear with a 300 tread wear rating.
More and more, speed ratings are being referred to as "performance ratings." This more accurately states what speed ratings are intended to qualify. Typically, tires with higher speed ratings also have enhanced performance and handling characteristics. While you may never drive your car say 149 MPH, if your car came with a V rating, it is important to keep tires on it that have the same or better speed rating to maintain its handling, braking and drivability characteristics.
The load-carrying capacity of a tire is described in its load index. This is a one, two, or three-digit number. Each number corresponds to an assigned maximum load limit, some examples of which can be found on the chart shown below.
| Load Index | Load in Pounds | Load Index | Load in Pounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75 | 853 | 110 | 2337 |
| 80 | 992 | 115 | 2679 |
| 85 | 1135 | 120 | 3086 |
| 90 | 1323 | 125 | 3638 |
| 95 | 1521 | 130 | 4189 |
| 100 | 1764 | 135 | 4806 |
| 105 | 2039 | 135 | 5357 |
The term PLUS SIZING is used to describe fitting tires that are wider, and have a lower aspect ratio than were original equipment on the vehicle.
Tread depth is the distance from the top of the tread blocks, to the bottom of the tread grooves. It is measured in 1/32-inch increments.
A sidewall bubble is called an "impact separation." Hitting something hard, like a pothole, curb, or other road debris, causes this. Tire manufacturers consider this a road hazard, which is not covered by any manufacturer's warranty. A tire with a sidewall bubble should immediately be removed from service – as it is unsafe to drive on.
Newly mounted tires that have a sidewall bubble - have a tear in the bead area caused by improper mounting technique or equipment. These are also not covered by any manufacturer's warranty.
Yes, Tread Depot does offer Road Hazard protection on most Passenger and Light Truck Tires. [Road Hazard Info]

Several factors go into the proper fitment of a vehicle: 1st: Wheel Diameter, 2nd: Wheel Width, 3rd: Offset/Back Spacing, 4th: Bolt Circle and 5th: Hub Bore.
The Bolt Circle is a measurement between the studs of (or bolt holes) of a particular vehicle. Even numbered stud vehicles are measured from the center of one stud, to the center of the stud completely opposite to it. Odd numbered stud vehicles are measured from the center of one stud, to the outer most edge of the opposite stud.
Rim size is composed of 2 dimensions: Wheel width and wheel diameter. E.g. 16x8 has a diameter of 16” and a width of 8”.
Offset is the measured difference between the actual centerline of the wheel and the surface that bolts against the hub, also called the mounting pad. There are generally 3 types of offset:
1. Zero Offset: The hub-mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.
2. Positive Offset: The hub-mounting surface is toward the face side of the wheel.
3. Negative Offset: The hub-mounting surface is toward the brake side of the wheel.
Instead of offset, some wheel manufactures prefer to list Backspacing. It is simply the distance from the inside edge of the wheel to the mounting pad of the wheel.
There are 6 basic types of wheel finishes: 1. Painted (generally silver or black in color). 2. Polished: Raw aluminum, highly polished, then coated. 3. Chrome: Aluminum that has been chrome plated. 4. Bright PVD (physical vapor deposition) – A lighter and more durable finish with similar shine to chrome. Powder coating: Electrostatically charged paint is sprayed in powder form on the wheel, then baked. Available in many colors and very durable.
There are two systems used to mount the wheels on a vehicle. Hub-Centric wheels are positioned on the hub by being located against a precisely formed surface on the hub itself. Lug-Centric wheels are centered on the lug nuts.
Most ATV tires will come with a stamp on their sidewall with either a ply rating (usually 2, 4 or 6) or stars (
, or ). Either way, a one star is equivalent to a 2 ply rated tire, a 2 star is equivalent to a 4-ply tire, and a three star is equivalent to a 6 ply rated ATV tire. So what do the plies mean? They simply refer to the weight carrying capacity of the tire and the toughness of its carcass. A two-ply, or one star tire, will have the lowest load capacity of the three, and typically the least robust carcass. A 6 ply is the opposite, having the most weight carrying capacity and (usually) the toughest construction of an ATV tire. There is also a corresponding maximum PSI to star ratings: one star = 4psi, two stars = 5psi and three = 7 psi; Higher air pressure typically equating to more weight carrying capacity.
There are four main classifications to ATV Tires. Those classifications are: Sand/Dune, Trail and All Terrain, Mud/Snow, & Sport/Racing.
No. Most ATV tires today are tubeless; however tubes are often used in certain applications.

Tread Depot is an authorized retailer for every brand we sell. All manufacturer warrantees extend to the tires we sell - where the manufacturer offers such warrantees. Should you have an issue with any tire we sell, we can help you in one of two ways: First, you can send the tire(s) in question to us for warranty processing. If the tire(s) are found to be defective and covered under the manufacturer's warranty, you will be reimbursed for shipping the tire(s) in question back to us – along with the amount of the adjustment credit. Alternatively, many customers prefer to use an authorized dealer in your area, for the brand of tire in question. We can help you locate an authorized dealer, if needed.
In order to file a mileage warranty claim you will need the following: A copy of the invoice when you had the tires installed. It will need to show the mileage of the vehicle when the tires were installed. A copy of all invoices showing proper rotation and balance, as well as alignment records to support the claim. Manufactures need this to determine that the tire was not neglected.
