Before buying passenger tires: sizes for cars, minivans and wagons
Passenger tires are tires for sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, wagons and minivans, built to carry passenger-vehicle loads at road speeds with a comfortable ride. The Passenger category covers P-metric sizes such as P215/60R16 and Euro-metric sizes such as 225/45R17, on wheels from 14 to 22 inches.
Reading a passenger tire size before ordering
A passenger tire size such as P215/55R17 94V reads as: P for passenger, 215 mm section width, sidewall height of 55% of the width, R for radial construction, a 17-inch wheel, load index 94 (1,477 lb per tire) and speed rating V (149 mph). The same size, load index and speed rating are printed on the door-jamb placard of the car or minivan.
Choosing P-metric or Euro-metric passenger tires
P-metric and Euro-metric passenger tires in the same size reach their maximum load at different pressures: 35 psi for P-metric, 36 psi for standard-load Euro-metric and 42 psi for Euro-metric XL (Extra Load). A replacement passenger tire must match or exceed the load index on the placard, whichever system the replacement uses.
Choosing passenger tires by season
- All-season passenger tires fit cars driven year-round in mild winters, with M+S marking and no severe-snow rating.
- All-weather passenger tires carry the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol and stay on the car through snowy winters.
- Summer passenger tires give the sharpest dry and wet grip above 45°F and lose grip below that temperature.
- Winter passenger tires fit cars that face ice and packed snow for months at a time.

Choosing passenger tires by speed rating
Passenger tire performance categories follow speed ratings. Touring passenger tires carry S (112 mph), T (118 mph) or H (130 mph) ratings and focus on comfort and tread life. High performance passenger tirescarry H or V (149 mph) ratings and focus on steering response and grip. Ultra high performance passenger tires carry W (168 mph) or Y (186 mph) ratings.
Buying passenger tires for electric vehicles
Passenger tires for electric vehicles carry higher load indexes to support battery weight, and some EV sizes use the HL (High Load) marking, which carries more weight than an XL tire of the same size. An EV owner replacing tires should match the HL or XL marking and the load index on the placard; see electric vehicle tires.
