Question 1031 in the bank

The correct vehicle tire size is:

  1. Correct answer: The size that was determined by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
  2. The size recommended by the tire professional in the garage (the tire repairman).
  3. The size that was determined by the tire manufacturer.
  4. The size that appears to be most suitable for the vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The size that was determined by the vehicle’s manufacturer.

The vehicle's manufacturer sets the tire size to suit the vehicle's weight, suspension, wheels, brakes and speedometer. A different size can harm stability and braking and make the speedometer inaccurate. The tire manufacturer produces many sizes but does not decide which one fits a particular vehicle, and a tire repairman should also follow the vehicle manufacturer's specification, found in the owner's manual.
