Where to Find Your Tyre Size
Check the sidewall
The size is printed on the outer sidewall of your current tyre. Look for a sequence like 205/55 R16.
Check the door jamb
Most vehicles have a sticker on the driver's door jamb or inside the fuel cap showing the recommended tyre size.
Check your handbook
Your vehicle owner's manual will list the correct tyre sizes for your car.
