How to find your size
All the tire size information is located on your tires’ sidewall.

- 255
- 55
- 18
- 97
- T
Width
This three-digit number represents the width of the tyre in millimeters (mm), measured from sidewall to sidewall. Since this measure is affected by the width of the rim, the measurement is done when the tyre is on its intended rim size.
Ratio
This identifies the tire’s aspect ratio, which is the relationship of the tire’s sidewall height to the tire’s width. In this example, the sidewall height of the tire is 55% of its width. The lower the ratio, the smaller the sidewall height, which means better cornering, but a rougher ride.
Diameter
This number (in inches) indicates that the tire is designed to fit on a wheel with an 18-inch diameter.
Load Index
This indicates how much weight the tire is certified to carry at maximum safe inflation. It doesn’t mean 97 pounds, because it’s actually an assigned value that corresponds with its “actual” load capacity found on a load index chart. If you look up 97 on the chart, you’ll find 1,609 pounds.
Speed Index
This indicates the maximum safe speed at which a tire is certified to carry a load under specified conditions. Speed ratings range from A (lowest) to Y (highest), with one exception: H falls between U and V. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended or endorsed.

Why is the Commercial T/A Traction the right tire for you?
Aggressive tread design
Serious on- and off-road drive-axle traction for demanding roads and conditions.
Two steel belts
Stiffer tread for better steering response, cornering, and traction plus improved bruise and puncture resistance.
Increasing biting edge™ and deep lateral grooves
Excellent severe weather traction.
Molded for studs
Ice traction can be further enhanced by adding studs (size #16 studs, where permitted by law).
Coolwedge™ shoulder insert
Increased tread life. Keeps tires running cooler under tough conditions.
Optimized footprint
Improved stress distribution and increased average tread life.
Dual-compound tread
Absorbs road shock for a smooth, comfortable ride.
