The specified vehicle model year typically utilizes tires sized at 215/60R16 or 215/55R17, although variations could exist depending on the trim level or optional equipment packages. These numbers indicate the tire’s width in millimeters, aspect ratio (sidewall height as a percentage of width), the wheel diameter in inches, and the tire’s construction type, respectively. Replacement requires careful consideration of load and speed ratings to ensure safe and proper vehicle operation.
Properly maintained components contribute significantly to vehicle handling, braking performance, and overall ride comfort. Employing the correct type enhances fuel efficiency and minimizes road noise. Selecting high-quality replacements extends the lifespan and reduces the frequency of replacements, yielding long-term cost savings. Historically, technological advancements have led to improvements in tire compound, tread design, and construction, resulting in enhanced performance and safety attributes.
