Bridgestone’s Tips For Choosing Right Tyres

By Editor_wr On Jul 23, 2025

Road travel increases significantly during holidays or summer, prompting many drivers to change their vehicle’s tyres for safer journeys. However,
selecting the right tyres is not always straightforward, as numerous factors must be considered. Bridgestone, a global leader in premium tyres and
sustainable mobility solutions, offers tips to help you make the right choice when buying tyres.

Only Approved Tyres

When replacing your car’s tyres, you should consult the vehicle’s technical documentation for the tyre dimensions and see all the ‘equivalent’
alternatives based on load capacity index, speed category, identical outer diameter (with a ±3% tolerance), and the corresponding rim profile.

You can find the tyre’s dimensions and specifications on the sidewall marking. For example, a 205/55 R16 89V tyre includes:

· Width: 205 mm

· Aspect ratio: 55 (height/width ratio expressed as a percentage)

· Rim diameter: 16 inches (the ‘R’ indicates a radial tyre)

· Load index: 89 (580 kg per tyre)

· Speed rating: V (up to 240 km/h)

The manufacturing date is indicated in the DOT code on the sidewall. The last four digits (e.g., 1024) represent the week and year of manufacture:
week 10 of 2024.
