I need new tires. How do I check what size I need?
In order to check what size of tires you need, you can find the tire size located right on the tire. Normally, it is displayed on the side of the tire, with the model number beginning with a P or LT. For instance, on the 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat the stock tire number is LT275/65R18C.
You can also look at the placard on the driver’s side door. In most vehicles, the placard is placed inside the doorjamb. The placard outlines valuable information, including the tires’ stock size. The stock size refers to the size of tires your vehicle came equipped with when it was purchased.
