P-Metric Sized Tires

Most P-metric and LT-metric tires do not have exact corresponding alpha-numeric tire sizes. For example, a P205/75R15 is not equal in size and load carrying capacity to an FR78-15.For this reason, replacement tires should be of the same TPC specification number (same size, load range, construction) as those originally on the vehicle. If P-metric or LT-metric tires must be replaced with other sizes, a tire dealer should be consulted. Tire companies can best recommend the closest match.
