Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read my tire size?

Look at your tire's sidewall for a marking like 205/55R16 91V. That means: 205 = width in millimeters, 55 = aspect ratio (sidewall height as % of width), R16 = fits a 16-inch rim, 91 = load index, V = speed rating. Enter the first three numbers into our size finder and you'll only see tires that fit.

Should I replace all four tires?

For even wear, balanced handling and safety, yes — especially on all-wheel-drive vehicles, where mixed tread depths can damage the drivetrain. At minimum, replace tires in pairs on the same axle.

Why is there a minimum order of 4 tires?

Our prices are among the lowest online because we sell in sets: shipping four tires in one delivery costs far less per tire than shipping one or two, and we pass that saving straight to you. It's also the safer choice — a matching set keeps your car's grip and handling balanced. You can mix sizes in one order (e.g. staggered front/rear fitments), as long as the order totals at least 4 tires.

What does 3PMSF mean?

The Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol certifies a tire for severe snow service — a real winter test, stricter than the M+S marking.

What is UTQG?

Uniform Tire Quality Grading, e.g. 500 A A: treadwear (higher = longer life), traction (AA best), temperature resistance (A best). Use it to compare tires within a category.

How long does delivery take?

See our Shipping Policy for current methods, costs and delivery times. You'll receive an email with tracking as soon as your order ships.

Can I return tires?

Yes — unmounted, unused tires can be returned within the window described in our Returns & Refund Policy, and return shipping is free: we send you a prepaid label, so sending a tire back costs you nothing. Once a tire has been mounted it can no longer be returned as new, so please double-check your size before installation.

How do I pay?

Checkout is SSL-encrypted and processed by Stripe. Depending on the order, you either pay directly at checkout or receive a secure payment link by email. We never see or store your card number.

Do you install tires?

We ship tires to your door. Any local tire shop or mobile installer can mount and balance them — most charge a standard per-tire fee.

My size isn't listed — can you help?

Usually yes. Send us your size (from the sidewall) and we'll check availability and price for you.
