The dimensions of the rubber that make contact with the road, specific to a particular compact crossover SUV model produced by Toyota, are critical for performance and safety. These measurements define the width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter required for optimal fitment. The appropriate dimensions ensure that the vehicle handles as intended by the manufacturer and maintains its designed aesthetic.
Correctly specified rolling circumference contributes significantly to accurate speedometer readings, proper function of electronic stability control systems, and overall ride comfort. Using the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) recommended dimensions guarantees compatibility with the vehicle’s suspension and braking systems. Deviating from these specifications can negatively impact fuel efficiency, handling characteristics, and potentially compromise safety. The recommended specifications are usually found on a sticker located on the driver’s side doorjamb or in the owner’s manual.
