Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's
Q: How do I know which tires fit my vehicle?
A: Using the year, make, and model of your vehicle is the easiest way to ensure you get the right tire size and specifications. This method matches tires to the manufacturer’s recommendations for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Q: Can I use a different tire size than what my vehicle recommends?
A: In most cases, it’s best to stick with your vehicle’s recommended tire size for optimal handling and safety. Some drivers choose plus-sizing for looks or performance, but always confirm compatibility with a tire professional before changing sizes.
Q: What’s the difference between OEM and aftermarket tires?
A: OEM (original equipment manufacturer) tires are the exact type that came with your vehicle when it was new. Aftermarket tires are replacement options that may offer better performance, longer tread life, or specialized features like off-road traction.
Q: How often should I replace my tires?
Replacement timing depends on tire wear, damage, age, and conditions of use. Follow your vehicle and tire manufacturers’ recommendations and have your tires inspected regularly. Contact The Wheel Supply with questions.
Q: What tire brands are best for my vehicle?
The best tire depends on your vehicle, how and where you drive, and the required size and ratings. Explore available catalog brands or contact The Wheel Supply for help.
