Confusion at its best. I call up tire places to shop for tires for my 2004 Tahoe. They all say that the tires for my Tahoe need to be 265/70R16. I look what's on the car now and they are 265/70R17. I look at the label on the driver side door and it gets even weirder. I says that the correct tire is 265/70R17 and the spare is a 265/70R16. Now why would that be. The spare (I assume SPA means spare) is a different diameter than the rest of the tires? Never heard of that. I know that the 17" size tires that are on there now is probably what the car came with from the factory, because my speedo is correct and I am pretty sure that the rims are original. Why do the computers of all the (so called) tire experts insist that I need 16" tires. Can anybody shed any light on that?
