Tires: 4 runner, tire placard, tire guides

Question
i have a 1993 toyota 4 runner what size tires do i buy?

Answer
Beverly,

On every vehicle sold in the US - and I understand this is a worldwide practice as well - there is a sticker – commonly called the vehicle tire placard - that lists the original tire size and the proper pressure for that size.  The placard is usually located on a doorpost or in the glove box – but sometimes it is located in the trunk or on the fuel filler door.

BTW, it doesn't matter who makes the tire or what pressure is listed on the tire's sidewall, if the tire size is the same as the placard, then the pressure listed on placard is also appropriate.


According to Tire Guides, a book that summarizes vehicle tire placards, a 1993 Toyota 4 Runner came with either P225/75R15's or 31x10.50R15LT's.  Check for your placard and see if you get one of those answers.  Also check the sidewall of your tires to see if it reads the same.

If so, you now know what size to get.  but if one or more of those is different, you'll have to figure out why.
