Most P-metric tire sizes
do
not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. Replacement tires
should be
of
the same tire performance criteria (TPC) specification number including the same size, the
same
load range, and the same construction as those originally installed on the vehicle. Consult a tire
dealer if you must replace the P-metric tire with other sizes. Tire companies can best recommend the
closest match
of
alphanumeric to P-metric sizes within their own tire lines.
