The specific dimensions of the rubber and wheel assembly for the specified vehicle model and year are essential for ensuring optimal performance and safety. These measurements, typically expressed in a standardized format, dictate the fit within the wheel wells and influence various aspects of the driving experience. Examples include 215/60R16 and 215/55R17, among others, depending on the trim level.
Properly sized components are critical for maintaining accurate speedometer readings and the functionality of safety systems like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Deviating from the manufacturer’s recommended specifications can compromise handling, fuel efficiency, and the overall safety of the vehicle. Historically, these specifications have evolved with advancements in vehicle design and tire technology.
