How we compile tire sizes, maintenance and safety data
We build one honest table per vehicle from U.S. federal public data and published standards — then we tell you exactly where each figure is class-typical and must be confirmed against your own vehicle. This page explains how, and what we deliberately do not do.
Who’s behind this site
Tire Size by Vehicle is an independent publisher operated by VentureCorp, Inc. We are not a tire retailer, an installer, a manufacturer, or a government agency, and we do not accept payment to change a size, an interval, or a safety figure. The site answers one question accurately: what are the typical tire size, maintenance schedule and safety record for a given vehicle?
Where our data comes from
| Data | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle spine (year/make/model, EPA class, MPG) | U.S. EPA fueleconomy.gov Web Service — U.S. federal public-domain data | The one-row-per-vehicle spine every page is built on |
| Recalls, complaints & 5-star (NCAP) safety | NHTSA Recalls / Complaints / Safety Ratings APIs — U.S. federal public records | The recalls-and-safety pages |
| Tire size by class | The public P-metric / ISO tire-sizing standard plus widely-published class-typical OE fitments — NOT a proprietary fitment database | Tire-size pages and the by-class comparison |
| Maintenance intervals | Manufacturer-standard, widely-published mileage intervals by segment | The maintenance-schedule pages |
Tire sizes are class-typical, not per-trim (confidence: class-typical) — every per-vehicle tire page tells you to confirm against your door-jamb placard or owner’s manual, because staggered or upsized wheels differ. We did not scrape any proprietary fitment or service database; tire sizing is a public standard and OEM mileage intervals are widely-published facts.
How we calculate
Each vehicle is enumerated from the EPA spine (one representative trim per year/make/model), then NHTSA recalls, complaints and NCAP ratings are joined on (make, model, year). Tire size is mapped from the vehicle’s EPA size class to the class-typical OE fitment; the maintenance schedule is mapped from its segment (passenger / truck-SUV / EV) to published interval guidance. Everything is re-pulled on a quarterly cadence as new model years land and recalls change.
What we deliberately leave out. This is an auto-care site, not a finance one: we carry no warranty, financing, extended-service-contract, or car-insurance content. We also name no “best” tire brand and rank no products — our buyer’s guides are neutral and point you back to your vehicle’s own requirements.
Independence & how we make money
Some links on this site may be affiliate links to tire or parts partners; if you act on one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partners never see or influence which sizes, intervals or safety figures we publish, and no placement is for sale.
Keeping it current
New model years land each fall and recalls change continuously, so we re-run the full EPA + NHTSA pull and review the reference tables quarterly. Each page carries its verification date; current verification: June 2026.
