What’s the correct 2017 Buick Encore tire size?

I drove over some nails in a parking lot and ended up with *two* flat tires. I don’t know what size to look for to replace them. What’s the correct 2017 Buick Encore tire size?

Sorry to hear this happened to you! If you’re not sure what your tire size is, you can check your owner’s manual or the sidewalls of the tires themselves. The standard 2017
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 has been designed 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
