Understanding these specifications helps in selecting the right tires for performance and safety.\n\nFor earlier model years (2006–2010), base trims often use 205/60R16 tires mounted on 6.5×16 inch rims. Higher trims, such as the LT and SS, can include larger 215/55R17 or 225/50R18 tires fitted on rims measuring up to 7×18 inches.\n\nComparing trims is essential when replacing tires or wheels, as rim width and diameter directly affect compatibility and handling.
