Winter Tire Sizes

This hub includes sizes with exact catalog rows identified as winter, studdable winter, or winter light-truck products. A winter tire is defined by its compound and tread design—not by its dimensions—so size choice must still follow the vehicle placard and approved fitment.

Selection guide

Important Winter tire considerations

Four-tire sets

Use matching winter tires on all wheel positions to preserve predictable braking and handling.

Cold-weather compound

Winter capability comes from rubber and tread design; all-season labeling alone is not equivalent.

Downsizing

A smaller winter wheel can add sidewall, but brake clearance, load rating, and diameter must remain compatible.

Stud rules

Stud legality, dates, and road restrictions vary by jurisdiction; verify local requirements.

Indexed fitments

Common Winter tire sizes

Open a size for nominal dimensions, verified fitment examples, exact-size products, alternatives, and safety limitations.

Category membership comes from the size’s explicit editorial category and exact product category/season metadata. It is not inferred from dimensions alone, and one size may appear in multiple supported hubs.

Manufacturer catalog coverage

Available Winter tire products

Each row is an exact product-size combination in the indexed manufacturer data.

Fitment limitations

A category label describes intended use, not guaranteed vehicle fitment. Confirm the door placard, approved wheel width, load index, speed rating, wheel offset, suspension clearance, and manufacturer guidance before changing size or construction.
