Identify the original system

Check the sidewall, owner’s manual and installed wheel. Some vehicles pair run-flat tires with specific monitoring and service instructions.

Confirm the exact replacement

Match the size, load, speed and any OE marking. Do not assume that a standard tire is an approved swap solely because its nominal size matches.

Put the answer to work
