Good traction is a great thing to look for in new tires. If you’re not sure what your tire size is, you can find it in your owner’s manual or by checking the sidewalls of the tires themselves. The standard 2016
Buick Encore
tire size is P215/55R18.
Here’s a look at what that 2017 Buick Encore tire size means:
  • The “P” means the tire is intended for passenger vehicles
  • The “215” refers to the tire height in millimeters
  • The “55” refers to the tire’s aspect ratio, which means the tire’s height is 55% of its width
  • The “R” means the tire’s inner layers are lain radially
  • The “18” refers to the wheel’s diameter in inches
Enjoy exploring your options!
