01 · Basics

Read your tire sidewall

The sidewall code summarizes the tire's dimensions, construction, load capacity and speed category. Use it together with your vehicle handbook or door-jamb label.

225/45 R17 94W
225 · Width

Approximate section width in millimetres.

45 · Aspect ratio

Sidewall height as a percentage of tire width.

R · Construction

Radial construction, used by most modern passenger tires.

17 · Rim diameter

Wheel diameter in inches.

94 · Load index

A standardized code for maximum load capacity.

W · Speed symbol

A standardized maximum-speed category under specified conditions.

03 · Fitment

Match size to vehicle

A tire that physically fits a wheel is not automatically approved for the vehicle. Check dimensions, load, speed rating and vehicle requirements together.

Find the approved specification

Check the driver's door label, fuel-filler flap or vehicle handbook for the original tire size and cold-pressure guidance.

Match every rating

Confirm width, profile, rim diameter, load index and speed symbol. Include extra-load or run-flat requirements where applicable.

Verify before installation

Ask a qualified tire professional to confirm clearance, wheel compatibility and electronic-system requirements.

04 · Buying

Choose and replace wisely

The right choice balances approved fitment with road conditions, load, comfort and the way you use the vehicle.

Before buying

  • Start with the exact vehicle-approved size and rating.
  • Consider city, highway, wet-road and unpaved-road use.
  • Compare tread design, intended use and service support.
  • Check the manufacturing date and inspect for storage damage.

Replace or inspect promptly when

  • Tread wear indicators are level with the surrounding tread.
  • There are bulges, deep cuts, exposed cords or severe cracking.
  • Pressure loss, vibration or pulling repeatedly returns.
  • A qualified inspection identifies age-related or structural risk.
05 · Care

Daily care & troubleshooting

Small, regular checks help tires wear more evenly and reveal developing problems before a long journey.

Routine care

  • Check cold tire pressure monthly and before long trips.
  • Inspect tread and sidewalls for damage or embedded objects.
  • Rotate tires and check alignment according to the vehicle manual.
  • Include the spare tire or mobility kit in routine checks.

Warning signs

  • Centre wear can indicate prolonged over-inflation.
  • Both-shoulder wear can indicate prolonged under-inflation.
  • One-sided wear may point to alignment or suspension issues.
  • New vibration, noise or pulling needs prompt professional inspection.
06 · Support

Warranty & after-sales

Coverage depends on the individual product, purchase channel, installation and inspection findings. Keep your records so a claim can be assessed efficiently.

Keep these records

  • Original invoice or order confirmation.
  • Tire specification, serial details and installation date.
  • Pressure, rotation and alignment service records where available.
  • Clear photos and a description of any issue.

Request support

Stop using a tire if you believe it is unsafe. Contact our team with the purchase details and photos. We may request an inspection before confirming eligibility or the next step.

07 · FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers to frequent fitment and maintenance questions.

Can I change to a different tire size?

Only use an alternative size that is approved for your vehicle and wheel combination. Confirm load capacity, speed rating, clearance and electronic-system compatibility with a qualified professional.

Where do I find the correct tire pressure?

Use the vehicle manufacturer's cold-pressure recommendation, usually found on the driver's door label, fuel-filler flap or in the vehicle handbook.

Do I need to replace all four tires together?

Replacement strategy depends on drivetrain, tread-depth difference and manufacturer guidance. Matching all four is often preferable; ask a tire professional when replacing fewer than four.

Can a puncture be repaired?

Some small punctures in the central tread area can be repaired after an internal inspection. Sidewall damage, large punctures and tires driven while flat normally require replacement.

Why is my tire-pressure warning still on?

Confirm all tires are set to the specified cold pressure. The system may require a reset or short drive; persistent warnings need inspection for leaks, sensor faults or an incorrect reset procedure.
