Cadillac Tire Guide

Choosing the right tires for your Cadillac is crucial for ensuring safety, optimal performance, and improved fuel economy. The wrong size can affect handling, increase braking distances, and even cause tire failure. It can also throw off your speedometer, odometer, and other systems. That’s why Hendrick Cadillac Cary created this guide to give you a clear overview of Cadillac tires to help you make the right choice.

How To Read The Sidewall Of Your Cadillac Tires

The sidewall of your tire includes a series of numbers, letters, and codes that provide information on everything from size and type to performance details. You’ll also find the manufacturer’s name, the specific tire model, and the U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (which includes the tire’s manufacturing date). Below is a simple breakdown of the key sections that help you understand what each marking means when reading your own tire.

1. Tire Type: The first letter or group of letters indicates what kind of vehicle the tire is made for. This could be a passenger car, a light truck, a commercial van, or a temporary spare. Some markings also show that the tire is built to carry heavier loads than standard tires.
2. Tire Width & Sidewall Ratio: The next set of numbers includes the tire width in millimeters, followed by the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio indicates the sidewall’s height as a percentage of the tire’s width.
3. Tire Construction & Rim Size: A letter comes next, showing the internal construction of the tire—most use radial construction. That’s followed by a number that represents the diameter of the wheel rim the tire fits, measured in inches.
4. Load Index & Speed Rating: At the end, you’ll find a number and a letter. The number is the load index, which indicates how much weight the tire can carry. The letter indicates the speed rating, which specifies the maximum speed the tire is rated for when carrying its full load.
