- 235/70 R17
- 265/60 R18
- 275/55 R20
Always consult a professional for correct sizing and fitment for your specific vehicle.
Setup:
Installation should be performed by a qualified tire professional. This includes mounting the tires on the appropriate wheels, inflating them to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, and performing a wheel alignment and balancing for optimal performance and longevity.
Care:
- Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire pressure (at least monthly and before long trips) and inflate to the recommended PSI found on your vehicle's doorjamb sticker or owner's manual.
- Tire Rotation: Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan. Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended rotation pattern.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect tires for any signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects, and check tread depth regularly.
- Cleaning: Clean the tires with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or tire dressings that can degrade the rubber.
