The specific dimensions of the rubber compounds fitted to the 2022 model year of a particular sport utility vehicle from a Japanese manufacturer are essential for optimal performance and safety. These measurements, typically expressed in a standardized format, define the width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter of the specified component. For example, a common configuration might be 235/65R18, indicating a tire width of 235 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 65%, and a rim diameter of 18 inches.
Adherence to the recommended dimensions is paramount for several reasons. Utilizing the correct specification ensures accurate speedometer readings, proper handling characteristics, and compatibility with the vehicle’s safety systems, such as anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). Deviations from these factory-specified measurements can negatively impact fuel efficiency, ride comfort, and the overall driving experience. Historically, manufacturers have meticulously determined these specifications through extensive testing and engineering to optimize vehicle performance.
