1998 Vehicle Tire Fitment Guide

215/60R16 bridges several 1998 vehicle types, appearing on the Acura RL, Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Camaro, Infiniti Q45, Lexus GS300, Mitsubishi Diamante, Pontiac Firebird, and Subaru Forester. That mix shows how one size can serve luxury sedans, sporty coupes, and crossover-style utility applications while still requiring model-specific confirmation. The available product landscape is broad enough to include blackwall performance radial choices, but this size should still be selected with attention to wheel width, ride-height expectations, and vehicle character. It is not simply a one-size-fits-all 16-inch option.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Wide Whitewall, RWL

205/60R15 is a common 1998 midsize and compact-car radial size used across Acura, Audi, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mercury, Nissan, Saab, and Subaru applications. It appears on both everyday sedans and more driver-focused cars, which explains the broad range of available products. In this size, choices include blackwall touring and performance tires, plus period-style whitewall, wide whitewall, and RWL treatments from brands such as Michelin, American Classic, Coker Classic, and BFGoodrich. With listed 15-inch rim-width coverage commonly around 5.5 to 7.5 inches, this size offers flexibility while still demanding correct fitment.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Redline

205/65R15 is a widely shared 1998 radial fitment for family sedans and minivans, appearing on vehicles such as the Acura TL, Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Lexus ES300, Nissan Maxima, Toyota Avalon, and Toyota Camry. Its taller sidewall compared with a 60-series tire generally points toward comfort-oriented road manners and mainstream 15-inch wheel packages. Product choices shown here focus on BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial versions with either a 2-inch whitewall or redline sidewall, both built for 15-inch wheels and listed for rim widths from 5.50 to 7.50 inches.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

245/70R16 is a 1998 SUV and truck radial size used on the Acura SLX, Honda Passport, Infiniti QX4, Isuzu Amigo, Isuzu Rodeo, and Isuzu Trooper. This is a taller-profile utility fitment with more sidewall and load-carrying focus than passenger-car sizes, making it more suitable for body-on-frame and truck-based sport utility applications. Available product coverage centers on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form, with a 16-inch rim diameter, 6.5- to 7.0-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 2,535 pounds at 65 psi.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Redline, RWL

245/40R18 is a high-performance radial size associated with the 1998 Aston Martin DB7, Mercedes-Benz SL500, Mercedes-Benz SL600, and Mitsubishi 3000GT. This fitment belongs to the low-profile 18-inch performance category and may serve as part of a staggered arrangement depending on the vehicle. Product choices include blackwall street-performance options from BFGoodrich and Nitto, along with an M&H drag radial for more specialized use. Listed rim-width recommendations generally center around 8.0 to 9.5 inches, with one drag application specifically calling for an 8.5-inch wheel, so exact wheel specs matter.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

265/35R18 appears on 1998 high-end performance cars including the Aston Martin DB7, Porsche 911, and Porsche Boxster. As a wide, low-profile radial on an 18-inch wheel, it sits squarely in the modern sports-car fitment category for the period. Available products are blackwall performance tires from BFGoodrich and Nitto, with listed rim-width suitability generally running from 9.0 to 10.5 inches. Because this size often works with a narrower front tire on the same vehicle, owners should confirm front-versus-rear placement and avoid treating it as a universal 18-inch replacement simply because the diameter matches.

195/65R15 is a very common 1998 passenger-car radial size used on Audi, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Suzuki applications. It is typical of compact and midsize sedans that prioritize balanced ride quality, everyday drivability, and widespread 15-inch wheel fitment. No product listing accompanies this size here, but its broad vehicle coverage shows why exact application still matters: the same size can appear on different wheel designs, trim levels, and suspension calibrations. It is best used as a starting point, then narrowed by the specific make and model.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Wide Whitewall, Redline

225/55R17 is used here on the 1998 Audi A8 and Audi A8 Quattro, placing it in the large luxury-sedan category rather than the sport-compact world often associated with 17-inch wheels. The size combines a substantial section width with a moderate sidewall height, supporting a more substantial ride while still using modern wheel diameter. Product options include blackwall performance radials from BFGoodrich as well as a BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial wide whitewall version, creating an unusual blend of contemporary handling-oriented products and period-style visual treatments in the same fitment size.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Raised-Yellow-Letter, Redline, Pin-White-Stripe, Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

225/60R16 is one of the broadest 1998 full-size and upscale passenger-car sizes, used across large sedans, coupes, and even some minivan applications from Audi, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Jaguar, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Mercury, Nissan, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. The available product mix is especially diverse, ranging from blackwall and raised-yellow-letter styles to redline, pinstripe whitewall, and wide whitewall treatments. That makes it a useful size for owners balancing appearance goals with fitment needs, but the correct choice still depends on the exact vehicle and wheel setup.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Redline

185/65R15 is a smaller passenger-car radial fitment used on the 1998 BMW 318i, BMW 318ti, Saturn SC1, Saturn SL2, and Saturn SW2. It reflects a compact-to-entry-luxury sizing pattern that keeps a modest section width while moving to a 15-inch wheel. Current products in this size focus on BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial versions with either wide whitewall or redline styling, both listed for 15-inch rims and a 5.00- to 6.50-inch rim-width range. That sidewall variation gives owners visual options without changing the underlying fitment category.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

225/50R16 is a sporty 1998 radial size seen on several BMW applications, the Mercedes-Benz SLK230, Porsche Boxster, Toyota Supra, and Volvo C70. Its relatively short sidewall and wider tread place it in the performance-oriented 16-inch category, often associated with coupes, roadsters, and upper-trim sedans. Blackwall product choices from BFGoodrich and Michelin support that character, with listed rim-width ranges typically from 6.0 to 8.0 inches. Because it appears on both front and rear positions depending on the vehicle, owners should confirm axle placement instead of selecting by size alone.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Wide Whitewall, RWL, Redline

225/60R15 appears here specifically on the 1998 BMW 528i and stands out as a relatively isolated fitment compared with more widely shared midsize-car sizes. On a large sport sedan, this size offers a combination of 15-inch wheel diameter, substantial tread width, and a moderate profile height. Product choices include blackwall Goodyear Eagle Gatorback versions, plus BFGoodrich options in wide whitewall and RWL treatments, giving the size a mix of performance-era styling and classic visual alternatives. The narrower application range makes wheel and suspension confirmation especially worthwhile before ordering.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

235/45R17 is a premium and performance-oriented radial size found on the 1998 BMW 528i, BMW 540i, Lexus GS400, Mercedes-Benz E300, Mercedes-Benz E420, Mercedes-Benz E430, and Toyota Supra. This size is used where a 17-inch wheel and lower sidewall are part of the vehicle’s intended handling balance. Blackwall products from BFGoodrich and Nitto dominate the currently listed choices, with rim-width recommendations generally in the 7.5- to 9.0-inch range. It is a good example of a size shared across European luxury sedans and Japanese performance cars without being universally interchangeable in practice.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

225/55R16 is a shared 1998 radial fitment across sporty sedans, coupes, and grand-touring applications including the BMW 540i, Cadillac Catera, Ford Mustang, Ford Taurus, Lexus GS400, Lexus SC300, Lexus SC400, Mercedes-Benz SL500, Mercedes-Benz SL600, and Mitsubishi 3000GT. The size gives a slightly taller profile than a 50-series alternative while retaining a strong performance-oriented footprint. Available products are blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force choices on 16-inch rims with listed rim-width coverage of 6.0 to 8.0 inches. Vehicles using this size can vary significantly in weight and intended use, so exact application remains important.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

255/40R17 is a wide performance radial used on the 1998 BMW 540i, Porsche 911, Porsche Boxster, and Toyota Supra. This is a rear-biased or high-performance fitment category, where tread width, wheel width, and speed capability matter more than broad cross-platform interchangeability. Current offerings include blackwall performance products from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Vredestein, with listed rim-width ranges centered around 8.5 to 10.0 inches and some load capacities over 1,650 pounds. It is best approached as a specialized 17-inch sports-car size rather than a generic upgrade.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall, Wide Whitewall, Blackwall, Redline, Goldline

235/60R16 appears on a diverse group of 1998 large luxury cars and sedans including the BMW 740i, BMW 740iL, BMW 750iL, Cadillac Seville, Lincoln Town Car, Mercedes-Benz CL500, Mercedes-Benz CL600, Mercedes-Benz S420, Mercedes-Benz S500, Mercedes-Benz S600, Oldsmobile Aurora, and Toyota RAV4. Product choices are unusually broad, spanning blackwall touring-style options as well as narrow whitewall, wide whitewall, and redline alternatives. With listed rim-width ranges commonly from 6.00 to 8.50 inches, this size can support both premium-driver and restoration-inspired visual goals depending on the vehicle.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, RWL, Redline

225/45R17 is a common 1998 performance radial used on the BMW M3, BMW Z3, Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, Mercedes-Benz CLK430, and Mercedes-Benz SLK230. It belongs to the lower-profile 17-inch sport category and is often paired with a wider rear tire on the same vehicle. Available blackwall products from BFGoodrich and Nitto emphasize modern performance street use, with listed rim-width ranges typically covering about 7.0 to 8.5 inches. Because some applications are staggered and others may be square, owners should confirm whether this size belongs on all four corners or only one axle.

255/50R18 is a luxury-performance radial size used on the 1998 Bentley Azure and Bentley Continental. The combination of substantial width and taller sidewall on an 18-inch rim fits the grand-touring end of the 1998 market rather than a track-focused low-profile application. No product listing appears here for this size, so it should be treated as a precise fitment reference for those Bentley models. On cars of this type, wheel width, speed rating, and front-versus-rear fitment deserve careful verification before choosing a replacement tire.

255/55R17 spans both prestige luxury and truck-oriented 1998 use, appearing on the Bentley Azure, Bentley Continental, Bentley Turbo R, and Dodge Dakota. That unusual mix highlights why size alone does not define the right product. A Bentley owner and a Dakota owner may share nominal dimensions but have very different wheel, handling, and appearance priorities. No product listing is attached here, so this size functions mainly as a fitment guidepost. Exact vehicle identity, wheel width, load needs, and intended road use should all be confirmed before moving toward a product choice.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Narrow Whitewall

235/65R16 is used on the 1998 Bentley Brooklands, Rolls-Royce Park Ward, and Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, making it a distinctly luxury-car fitment within the year. This size carries a taller profile than many contemporary sport sedan applications and suits large, heavier touring cars built around ride quality and substantial wheel-tire proportions. Current product choices include Avon Turbospeed blackwall and narrow whitewall versions, both on 16-inch rims with a stated 1,929-pound load capacity. For owners of these vehicles, sidewall appearance may be nearly as important as dimensions when selecting the right tire.

285/45R18 is a wide 18-inch radial fitment used on the 1998 Bentley Continental and Bentley Turbo R. It sits in a specialized luxury-performance category with a broad footprint and substantial overall section width. No product listing appears here, which makes the size especially important as an anchor point when narrowing replacements for these specific cars. Because this kind of fitment may involve axle-specific use and premium wheel dimensions, owners should confirm whether the size is front, rear, or part of a staggered arrangement before selecting any product in a nearby performance category.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall, Blackwall, Wide Whitewall

205/70R15 is a widely used 1998 radial size across family sedans, minivans, and compact SUVs, including applications from Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Subaru, and Toyota. Its relatively tall sidewall supports comfort-oriented driving and mainstream 15-inch wheel packages. Product choices include blackwall performance-style radials as well as narrow whitewall and wide whitewall offerings from Maxxis, Michelin, Avon, and American Classic. That range makes this size suitable for owners seeking either everyday road manners or a more period-oriented sidewall appearance without moving away from the original size category.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Wide Whitewall, Blackwall, Pin-White-Stripe, Narrow Whitewall, Redline

215/70R15 appears on a mix of 1998 sedans, minivans, and utility vehicles such as the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Venture, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Windstar, Isuzu Rodeo, Mercury Villager, Nissan Quest, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and Pontiac Trans Sport. This taller 15-inch radial size favors ride comfort and load support more than sporty response. Product options include RWL, wide whitewall, and blackwall styles from Cooper, BFGoodrich, Dunlop, and Avon, giving owners several visual and usage directions. Because this size spans family transport and utility use, load needs and intended driving should guide the final selection.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

195/70R14 is a mainstream 1998 passenger-car radial size used on a broad group of compact and midsize models from Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Honda, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, and Toyota. Its 70-series profile and 14-inch wheel diameter place it squarely in the comfort-oriented compact and midsize category of the era. Product coverage shown here centers on the blackwall Dunlop Sport Classic, which suits owners wanting a period-appropriate look within a modern radial format. As with many common sizes, shared dimensions do not eliminate the need to verify the exact application.

235/55R16 is a performance-leaning 1998 radial fitment used on the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet S10, and Pontiac Firebird. That combination shows the size serving both F-body performance cars and a sport-package compact truck application. Available products are blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force choices on 16-inch rims, with a 7.0- to 8.5-inch rim-width range. Because vehicle character differs so much across these applications, the same nominal size should still be matched to the correct wheel package and intended use. It is especially important not to assume interchangeability between a truck and a performance coupe.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

245/50R16 is used on the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird and belongs to the classic late-1990s performance coupe category. The size delivers a broad footprint with a moderate sidewall on a 16-inch wheel, making it suitable for powerful rear-drive applications. Available products are blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force models, with listed rim-width coverage from 7.0 to 8.5 inches and versions carrying a stated maximum load of 1,609 pounds at 51 psi. Owners should pay close attention to whether this size is paired with a narrower front size on the same vehicle.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, RWL, Redline

275/40R17 is a wide, low-profile performance radial used on the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Viper, and Pontiac Firebird. This is not a general-purpose 17-inch fitment; it sits in the rear-drive performance category where wheel width, axle placement, and power delivery are major considerations. Available products include blackwall BFGoodrich and Nitto street-performance choices, plus an M&H drag radial for specialized use, with listed wheel widths typically in the 9.0- to 11.0-inch range. That variety lets owners choose between street-oriented and more focused setups while staying within the correct size category.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, RWL, Redline

245/45R17 is a 1998 performance radial fitment shared by the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, and Mitsubishi 3000GT. It represents the type of 17-inch sizing used where a wider contact patch and shorter sidewall support higher-speed stability and more precise response. Product choices include blackwall performance tires from BFGoodrich and Nitto, along with an M&H drag radial for straight-line-focused builds. Listed rim-width compatibility generally falls around 7.5 to 9.0 inches. Because these vehicles differ in drivetrain and front-to-rear sizing strategy, owners should verify placement and wheel specs before ordering.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Redline, RWL

275/40R18 is a specialized rear-performance radial fitment used here on the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette. It sits in the wide 18-inch category associated with late-1990s high-performance sports cars and should be treated as an axle-specific application. Products include blackwall BFGoodrich and Nitto options plus a redline Pro-Trac Street Pro III version, offering both contemporary performance styling and a more custom sidewall treatment. Listed rim-width guidance commonly spans roughly 9.0 to 11.0 inches, which reinforces the importance of matching the tire to the correct rear wheel rather than selecting by diameter alone.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: OWL, RWL, Redline, Wide Whitewall

215/65R15 is a versatile 1998 radial size used on sedans, minivans, and light trucks including the Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Dodge Caravan, Nissan Frontier, Pontiac Bonneville, and Toyota Sienna. Its profile supports a comfort-focused ride, but the shared size across different vehicle types means product selection should follow the intended application. The listed choices range from OWL and RWL sport-truck or muscle-style sidewalls to BFGoodrich redline options, all built around 15-inch wheels. This size can support very different visual and driving goals, so wheel width and vehicle character should drive the final choice.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, RWL, Redline, Blackwall

215/60R15 appears on the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu and Oldsmobile Cutlass, placing it in the midsize front-drive passenger-car category. This size offers a balanced mix of tread width and sidewall height on a 15-inch rim and is well suited to owners who want to stay within a familiar late-1990s sedan fitment range. Product coverage includes wide whitewall, redline, RWL, and blackwall options from American Classic, BFGoodrich, and Dunlop. That mix gives this size more visual flexibility than many modern passenger-car fitments while retaining the same basic dimensions.

Rim Diameter: 13 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall, Wide Whitewall

155/80R13 is a small passenger-car radial size used on the 1998 Chevrolet Metro, Hyundai Accent, Nissan Sentra, and Suzuki Swift. Its narrow tread and tall 80-series profile reflect the economy-car end of the 1998 market, where low rolling resistance, light steering effort, and compact wheel packaging were priorities. Product options in this size include narrow whitewall and wide whitewall styles from Travelstar, BFGoodrich, Maxxis, and Tornel. With listed load capacities around 959 pounds on some products, this size should remain matched to the correct lightweight vehicle application and wheel range.

175/65R14 is a compact 1998 radial size shared by the Chevrolet Prizm, Dodge Neon, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan 200SX, Nissan Sentra, Plymouth Neon, Saturn EV1 Electric Car, Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Tercel. It reflects the late-1990s shift toward slightly lower-profile compact-car tires on 14-inch wheels. No product listing is attached here, so the size serves primarily as a fitment reference across economy and compact applications. Because it spans both conventional gasoline models and the Saturn EV1 Electric Car, exact vehicle identification remains important even where the nominal size is shared.

185/65R14 is a common 1998 compact-car radial size used on models including the Chevrolet Prizm, Dodge Neon, Ford Escort, Honda Civic, Kia Sephia, Mazda Protege, Mercury Tracer, Mitsubishi Mirage, Plymouth Neon, and Toyota Corolla. It offers a useful middle ground between narrower economy fitments and wider sport-compact packages, keeping a modest sidewall on a 14-inch wheel. No product listing appears here, but the size itself is a familiar late-1990s compact standard. Shared usage across many makes makes it important to verify the vehicle’s trim and wheel package before choosing a replacement.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RBL, Narrow Whitewall, Wide Whitewall

215/75R15 is a broad 1998 utility and light-truck radial size found on vans, compact pickups, SUVs, and some truck-based passenger vehicles from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Jeep, Mazda, Nissan, Pontiac, and Toyota. This is a taller-profile size with stronger utility character than passenger-car 15-inch fitments. Products include BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RBL form as well as narrow and wide whitewall options from Coker Classic, BFGoodrich, and Tornel. That means buyers can choose between off-road-oriented tread character and more traditional sidewall styling, depending on the vehicle and use.

235/65R15 is used on the 1998 Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari, making it a focused minivan fitment rather than a broad cross-market size. The dimensions suit the truck-based van platform, with more section width and sidewall than many car-based minivans of the period. No product listing accompanies this size here, so owners should treat it as a key fitment marker when narrowing replacements. Because Astro and Safari vans are often used in different load conditions than car-based minivans, wheel size and vehicle setup should be checked carefully before selecting any substitute.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Goldline, Narrow Whitewall, Redline

205/75R15 is a common 1998 SUV, compact truck, and van radial size used on applications such as the Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet S10, GMC Jimmy, GMC Sonoma, Jeep Wrangler, Kia Sportage, Mercury Villager, and Suzuki Sidekick. The taller profile supports utility driving and modest off-road use while staying on a 15-inch wheel. Product choices are varied, including wide whitewall, goldline, narrow whitewall, and American Classic whitewall options from BFGoodrich, Tornel, and American Classic. That gives this size more sidewall-style diversity than many truck sizes, especially for owners seeking a more distinctive visual presentation.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Blackwall, Redline, Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

235/70R15 is a widely used 1998 truck and SUV radial size shared by the Chevrolet Blazer and S10, Dodge Dakota, GMC Jimmy and Sonoma, Isuzu Hombre, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pathfinder, and Oldsmobile Bravada. It sits squarely in the midsize utility category, offering more tread width than 205- or 215-series truck fitments while still using a 15-inch wheel. Available products include blackwall, RWL, and redline choices from Cooper, Avon, BFGoodrich, and Michelin. That range lets owners prioritize either a truck-style sidewall look or a more understated premium road-oriented presentation.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

235/75R15 is one of the broadest 1998 truck, van, and SUV fitments, appearing across Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda, Mercury, and Toyota applications. This size serves everything from half-ton pickups and full-size vans to midsize SUVs and truck-based utilities, so application details matter more than the shared dimensions might suggest. Product choices include BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form plus several narrow and wide whitewall options from American Classic, Maxxis, and Coker Classic. The size’s popularity makes it flexible, but not automatically interchangeable in load or use.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

31X10.50R15 is a flotation-style radial truck size used on the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet S10, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Durango, GMC Jimmy, GMC Sonoma, and Toyota Tacoma. Unlike metric P-metric or LT-metric sizing, this format expresses overall diameter, section width, and wheel diameter directly, making it common on off-road-oriented truck and SUV applications of the era. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form for 15-inch wheels with a 7.0- to 9.0-inch rim-width range and a stated 2,270-pound maximum load at 50 psi.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

225/75R16 is a 1998 heavy-duty truck and van radial size used on Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, and GMC work-oriented applications including 2500- and 3500-series trucks and vans. This size sits firmly in the light-truck category, where load capacity and wheel compatibility are more critical than sidewall style variety. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT225/75R16/E with RWL styling, a 16-inch rim diameter, 6.0- to 7.0-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 2,680 pounds at 80 psi. It should be matched carefully to the intended duty rating.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

245/75R16 is one of the dominant 1998 full-size truck and van sizes, covering many Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, and Lincoln applications from half-ton SUVs to heavier 2500- and 3500-series vehicles. Even though the size is widely shared, vehicle weight, axle rating, and wheel width can differ substantially across those platforms. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT245/75R16/E with RWL styling, 6.5- to 8.0-inch rim-width suitability, and a stated maximum load capacity of 3,042 pounds at 80 psi. That makes it especially relevant for utility-focused use.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

265/75R16 appears on 1998 full-size truck and SUV applications such as the Chevrolet K1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, Dodge Ram 1500, GMC K1500, and GMC Yukon. Compared with narrower 245-series truck tires, it adds section width and a larger visual presence while staying within a 16-inch wheel format common to late-1990s four-wheel-drive and upper-trim models. Product coverage includes a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT265/75R16/E with RWL styling, a 7.0- to 8.0-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 3,415 pounds at 80 psi.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

195/75R15 is a taller-profile 1998 radial size used on the Chevrolet Tracker, Mazda MPV, and Suzuki Sidekick. It occupies an interesting middle ground between compact passenger-car sizes and more robust utility fitments, with enough sidewall height to suit smaller truck-based and multi-purpose vehicles. Products in this size focus heavily on period-style sidewall treatments, including narrow whitewall and wide whitewall versions from Coker Classic and American Classic. Listed load capacities vary by product, so shoppers should compare the tire’s intended use with the vehicle’s weight and duty expectations before choosing.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Redline, Wide Whitewall

215/55R16 is a refined 1998 passenger-car radial size used on the Chrysler Sebring, Infiniti I30, Mazda Millenia, Mercedes-Benz E300, Mercedes-Benz E320, Mercedes-Benz E420, Mercedes-Benz E430, and Nissan Maxima. It fits the upper-midsize sedan and coupe category, where ride quality and more precise steering often meet. Product choices span blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force performance tires as well as redline and wide whitewall versions from American Classic. That mix gives owners a choice between a more contemporary performance look and a custom or period-oriented sidewall treatment while remaining in the same size.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

215/50R17 is a sporty 1998 radial fitment used on the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Eagle Talon, and Mitsubishi Eclipse. The lower profile and 17-inch wheel diameter place it in the coupe and sport-compact performance category rather than mainstream sedan fitment. Available products are blackwall performance radials from BFGoodrich, including g-Force variants with stated rim-width ranges from 6.0 to 7.5 inches and load capacities up to 1,521 pounds on some products. For owners of these models, this size offers a distinctly more aggressive fitment character than the 14- and 15-inch alternatives found elsewhere in the year.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RBL, Redline, Wide Whitewall

215/65R16 is used on the 1998 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Suzuki Sidekick. That range spans front-drive minivans and a compact utility model, showing why a shared size still needs vehicle-specific confirmation. Product options include a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RBL form plus BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial versions with redline and wide whitewall sidewalls. The 16-inch rim fitment and listed rim-width range of 5.50 to 7.50 inches on some passenger-style products make this size flexible, but the final choice should reflect whether the vehicle is road-focused or utility-oriented.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall

175/70R14 is a compact 1998 radial size used on the Dodge Neon, Plymouth Neon, Saturn SC1, Saturn SL, Saturn SL1, and Saturn SW1. This fitment belongs to the economy and entry-compact category, with a relatively tall sidewall on a 14-inch wheel helping preserve ride comfort and modest operating costs. The listed product is a Travelstar narrow whitewall radial for 14-inch wheels, giving this otherwise everyday size a sidewall style often chosen for a cleaner or more traditional appearance. Owners should still verify wheel size and trim level because some related models use different 14- or 15-inch setups.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

335/35R17 is an exceptionally wide 1998 performance radial used on the Dodge Viper and Lamborghini Diablo. This is a specialized rear-fitment category intended for exotic and very high-output applications, where wheel width, suspension clearance, and front-to-rear balance are critical. The listed product is a blackwall Michelin Pilot Sport II with a 17-inch rim diameter and a broad 11.0- to 13.0-inch rim-width range. This is not an interchangeable upgrade size; it should be selected only when the exact application, wheel dimensions, and intended axle position all match the vehicle’s requirements.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall, Wide Whitewall, Redline

205/75R14 is a utility-oriented 1998 radial size used on the Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Ranger, Plymouth Grand Voyager, and Plymouth Voyager. It reflects the taller-profile 14-inch fitments still common on practical minivans and light trucks in the late 1990s. Products in this size lean heavily toward classic-style whitewall offerings from American Classic, Coker Classic, Maxxis, and related Coker lines, with narrow and wide treatments available. That gives this otherwise functional size unusual sidewall variety and can be helpful for owners pursuing a particular visual style without changing the core dimensions.

275/60R17 appears here specifically on the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 and stands apart from the more common 245/75R16 and 265/75R16 truck fitments of the year. This size combines a wide section with a relatively tall overall profile on a 17-inch wheel, giving it a more substantial stance-oriented look than many standard-duty pickup sizes. No product listing is attached here, so it should be used mainly as an exact fitment identifier when researching Ram 1500 tire options. Wheel width and whether the truck retains its original configuration should be confirmed carefully.

215/85R16 is a tall, narrow heavy-duty radial size used on the 1998 Dodge Ram 3500. This fitment clearly belongs to the work-truck side of the 1998 market, where load handling and overall tire diameter are often more important than appearance or sporty response. No product listing appears here, but the size itself signals a very specific tire category that should not be confused with lighter-duty 16-inch truck sizes. Owners should verify wheel width, axle requirements, and any dually or heavy-service configuration details before moving toward a replacement.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Redline, RWL

255/45R17 is a premium performance radial used on the 1998 Ferrari 456 GT and Ferrari 456 GTA. The size combines a broad footprint with a moderate low-profile sidewall, making it suitable for front or rear use in grand-touring applications depending on the vehicle’s setup. Product choices include blackwall BFGoodrich and Nitto performance tires along with Pro-Trac Street Pro III versions in both redline and RWL sidewall styles. Listed rim-width suitability generally spans 8.0 to 9.5 inches, so wheel specification and intended placement on the car should be checked closely.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

285/40R17 is used on the 1998 Ferrari 456 GT and Ferrari 456 GTA and belongs to the wider rear-performance category. Compared with the accompanying 255/45R17 fitment, it delivers additional tread width while maintaining a relatively balanced sidewall height for a 17-inch wheel. The listed product is a blackwall Nitto NT555 G2 with a 9.5- to 11.0-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,984 pounds at 50 psi. This is a specialized fitment, so owners should confirm that the tire is intended for the correct axle rather than assuming all 17-inch sizes are interchangeable.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

255/40R18 is a 1998 high-performance radial size used on the Ferrari 550 Maranello and Jaguar XJR. Its 18-inch diameter and low profile place it in the premium sports and super-sedan category, where steering precision and wheel fitment are closely linked. Available blackwall product choices from BFGoodrich cover a range of g-Force series options, with listed rim-width compatibility from 8.5 to 10.0 inches and some load capacities exceeding 1,700 pounds at 50 psi. This size should be selected with attention to both vehicle type and wheel specifications, not by dimensions alone.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Redline, RWL

295/35R18 is a wide rear-performance radial used specifically on the 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello. This fitment sits deep in the exotic-car category, combining significant tread width with a short sidewall on an 18-inch wheel. Product coverage here centers on Pro-Trac Street Pro III offerings in redline and RWL sidewall styles, an unusual mix for such an aggressive size. Because 295/35R18 is inherently specialized, shoppers should confirm wheel width, suspension clearance, and the tire’s intended rear placement before choosing among products in this size category.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

225/40R18 is a low-profile 1998 performance radial used on the Ferrari F355 F1, Ferrari F355 GTS, Ferrari F355 Spider, Porsche 911, Porsche Boxster, and Volvo C70. This size often serves as a front fitment on staggered sports-car setups, though exact application depends on the vehicle. Available blackwall products from BFGoodrich and Nitto include several performance series, with listed rim-width ranges generally from 7.5 to 9.0 inches. Because this size appears on both exotic sports cars and a premium coupe, owners should verify front-versus-rear use and wheel specification before ordering.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

265/40R18 is used on the 1998 Ferrari F355 F1, Ferrari F355 GTS, and Ferrari F355 Spider, placing it squarely in the rear-performance exotic category. It offers a wider footprint than the corresponding 225/40R18 fitment and should be treated as part of a matched setup rather than a stand-alone 18-inch choice. The listed product is a blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A with a 9- to 10.5-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,819 pounds at 50 psi. Accurate wheel width and axle placement matter greatly with this type of fitment.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Blackwall

185/70R14 is a common 1998 compact and midsize radial size used on the Ford Contour, Honda Civic, Mazda 626, Mercury Mystique, Mitsubishi Galant, and Subaru Legacy. It reflects a practical 14-inch fitment with a taller sidewall than many sport-oriented alternatives. Product choices are varied for this size, including blackwall options from Avon, Dunlop, and Michelin, plus a BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial wide whitewall version. With listed rim-width ranges commonly around 4.5 to 6.5 inches, this size can suit owners looking for either straightforward road use or a more distinctive period-style sidewall treatment.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

195/65R14 is used on the 1998 Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique, making it a focused midsize-car fitment rather than one of the year’s broad multi-make standards. The size carries a slightly lower profile than 70-series 14-inch tires while keeping a practical wheel diameter common in late-1990s family sedans. The listed product is a blackwall Michelin MXV3-A on a 14-inch rim. Because this size appears in a narrow vehicle range here, owners should confirm trim-level wheel packages carefully instead of assuming every Contour or Mystique used the same specification.

185/60R15 appears here specifically on the 1998 Ford Escort and represents a more compact, lower-profile 15-inch passenger-car fitment than many economy models of the year used. The shorter sidewall can contribute to a more responsive feel compared with taller 14-inch alternatives, while keeping section width modest. The listed product is a blackwall Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 with a 15-inch rim diameter and a 5- to 6.0-inch rim-width range. Because this size is limited to a narrow application here, it should be confirmed against the actual wheel package before selection.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

255/70R16 is a 1998 truck and SUV radial size used on the Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, and Mercury Mountaineer. It represents a substantial utility fitment with a wider footprint than the common 245-series truck sizes of the period. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form for 16-inch wheels, with a 6.5- to 8.0-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 3,085 pounds at 80 psi. This size is best matched carefully to vehicle weight and intended use, especially across different Ford truck classes.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

265/70R17 is used on the 1998 Ford Expedition and Ford F-150, placing it among the year’s larger full-size truck and SUV fitments. The combination of a substantial section width and 17-inch wheel diameter reflects upper-end truck packages that balance utility stance with modern wheel sizing. Available products are BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires in RWL form, with two different load-capacity levels shown, including one rated to 2,470 pounds at 50 psi and another to 3,195 pounds at 80 psi. Matching the correct service level to the vehicle is important here.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Blackwall, Narrow Whitewall, Wide Whitewall, Pin-White-Stripe, Redline

225/70R15 is a shared 1998 radial size used on the Ford Explorer, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda MPV, Mazda B2500, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, and Mercury Mountaineer. It sits between passenger and truck fitment categories, showing up on SUVs, minivans, and pickups with 15-inch wheels. Product choices include RWL performance-truck style options from Goodyear and Cooper, along with a blackwall Michelin XWX. That sidewall and brand variety makes this size appealing to owners with different style goals, but the vehicle’s weight, intended use, and wheel width should still guide the final selection.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Wide Whitewall

235/70R16 appears on the 1998 Ford F-150 and Land Rover Discovery, linking a full-size pickup and a premium SUV around a shared 16-inch utility size. Despite the common dimensions, those vehicles can place different demands on tread character and sidewall style. Product choices include a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form plus wide whitewall options from American Classic and Coker Classic. With listed rim-width ranges from about 6.0 to 8.5 inches depending on product, this size supports both utility-focused and more appearance-oriented selections within the same basic fitment category.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

215/75R14 is used here on the 1998 Ford Ranger and is a classic taller-profile light-truck radial size for a 14-inch wheel. This fitment reflects the work-oriented compact pickup setups that remained common in the late 1990s before larger wheel diameters became standard. Available products focus on whitewall styles from Coker Classic and American Classic, including both narrow and wide treatments. Those choices bring a more traditional visual option to a practical truck fitment. Owners should verify actual wheel diameter carefully, since Rangers in the same year also used several other sizes.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, RWL

235/60R15 appears specifically on the 1998 Ford Ranger and represents a lower-profile, wider 15-inch fitment than the pickup’s taller utility sizes. This type of size often signals a more street-oriented wheel and tire package, placing stance and on-road handling ahead of maximum sidewall height. Product choices include RWL offerings from Cooper and BFGoodrich as well as an M&H drag radial. That blend points toward enthusiast interest in this fitment, but it also means owners should verify that their Ranger actually uses this wheel package before selecting from more performance-focused options.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Wide Whitewall, Redline

225/70R14 is used on the 1998 Ford Ranger and Mazda B2500, B3000, and B4000, making it a shared compact-truck fitment within the Ford-Mazda pickup family. The size combines a relatively broad footprint with a taller profile on a 14-inch wheel, suitable for everyday truck use while preserving traditional proportions. Product options include RWL, wide whitewall, and redline styles from Cooper and BFGoodrich. This variety can help owners tailor the appearance, but the tire should still be matched to the exact wheel package, since these trucks also carried other 14- and 15-inch sizes.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

225/75R15 is a utility-oriented 1998 radial size used on the Ford E-150 Econoline, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Toyota 4Runner, and Toyota Tacoma. It is a classic tall-sidewall 15-inch SUV and light-truck fitment with enough height for utility use and a broad enough footprint for stable road manners. Product choices emphasize traditional sidewall treatments, with wide and narrow whitewall options from BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic. Because this size serves vans, SUVs, and pickups, vehicle load and use should guide the final selection.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall

205/60R16 appears specifically on the 1998 Honda Accord and represents a more upscale or sport-oriented Accord fitment than the model’s 14- and 15-inch alternatives. The slightly shorter sidewall and larger wheel diameter help place it in the late-1990s midsize performance-comfort category. The listed product is an American Classic Radial with a 1.50-inch wide whitewall, built for 16-inch wheels and listed for 5.50- to 7.50-inch rim widths. That sidewall style gives this otherwise modern metric size a distinctive appearance option while remaining within the same dimensional fitment category.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

205/50R16 is used on the 1998 Honda Prelude and Saab 900 and belongs to the compact sporty-car category. Its lower profile compared with 60- and 65-series 16-inch tires points to sharper handling intent and tighter overall diameter control. Product choices include blackwall BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 and g-Force COMP-2 A/S options, both listed for 16-inch wheels with rim-width ranges from 5.5 to 7.5 inches. For owners of these cars, this size is best viewed as a true performance fitment rather than a cosmetic wheel-diameter upgrade.

Rim Diameter: 13 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

175/70R13 is a compact 1998 radial size used on the Hyundai Accent, Mazda Protege, Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan 200SX, Nissan Sentra, and Suzuki Esteem. This is a traditional small-car fitment with a tall sidewall and narrow tread, typical of economy and entry-level applications from the period. The listed product is a blackwall Avon CR6ZZ for 13-inch wheels with a 4.5- to 6.0-inch rim-width range. Even in a relatively small size, exact fitment matters, since many of these same vehicles also appeared with 14- or 15-inch alternatives depending on trim.

245/50R17 appears specifically on the 1998 Jaguar XK8 and sits in the grand-touring performance category. Compared with lower-profile 40-series sizes, it retains a little more sidewall while still offering substantial tread width on a 17-inch wheel. The listed product is a blackwall Jaguar XK8-compatible size category tire from the available range, here represented by a Michelin fitment with the exact rim width not broadly varied in this listing. Owners should treat this as a vehicle-specific touring-performance size and confirm wheel specs and placement carefully before selecting a replacement.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

225/70R16 appears on the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and represents a midsize SUV radial fitment with a strong utility character. It combines a tall sidewall with a 16-inch wheel diameter, fitting the blend of road comfort and off-pavement capability expected from many sport utility vehicles of the era. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT225/70R16/C with RWL styling, a 6.0- to 7.0-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,875 pounds at 50 psi. This size should be matched to the proper wheel and vehicle setup.

245/70R15 is used specifically on the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and stands out as a wider 15-inch SUV fitment than the Cherokee and Wrangler commonly used. The size adds section width while retaining the taller-profile look typical of late-1990s sport utility tires. No product listing appears here, so the size itself serves as the key fitment marker. For owners of a Grand Cherokee, this is a reminder that trim and wheel package matter; not every 1998 Jeep utility model uses the same tire, even when vehicle size and appearance seem similar.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

30X9.50R15 is a flotation-style radial size used on the 1998 Jeep Wrangler. This size uses the traditional overall-diameter-by-section-width format common on off-road and utility applications, rather than the metric sizing used on most passenger cars. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form, built for 15-inch wheels with a 6.5- to 8.5-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,990 pounds at 50 psi. It is a very Jeep-appropriate category size, but exact wheel specs and suspension changes still affect fitment.

255/65R16 is shared by the 1998 Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz ML320, placing it in the upscale SUV category. The size blends a relatively wide tread with a moderate sidewall on a 16-inch wheel, appropriate for sport utility vehicles that balance road comfort with utility use. No product listing is attached here, so it should be treated primarily as a fitment reference rather than a sign that all similar-looking SUV tires are interchangeable. Because both vehicles may have different wheel widths and overall weight profiles, exact application confirmation is important.

255/55R18 appears specifically on the 1998 Land Rover Range Rover and belongs to the luxury SUV 18-inch fitment category. This size combines substantial width with a still-useful sidewall height, giving the vehicle a more premium wheel presence than its 16-inch alternative. No product listing is included here, so owners should use the size as an exact fitment reference and confirm wheel width and current configuration before selecting a replacement. On SUVs of this type, changes in wheel packages or aftermarket upgrades can affect fitment even when the overall size looks close.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

275/70R16 is a full-size SUV radial fitment used on the 1998 Lexus LX470 and Toyota Land Cruiser. This is a substantial 16-inch utility size with a wide footprint and strong load-carrying role, fitting heavier sport utility vehicles of the period. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT275/70R16/D with RWL styling, a 7.0- to 8.5-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 3,000 pounds at 65 psi. For vehicles in this category, the proper load and service rating can be as important as the nominal dimensions.

255/75R17 appears specifically on the 1998 Lincoln Navigator and stands out as a distinctive full-size luxury SUV fitment. The tall profile and substantial width give it a heavier-duty utility stance than most passenger-car 17-inch sizes, while the 17-inch wheel diameter marks a move up from more common 15- and 16-inch truck applications. No product listing appears here, so the size should be used as a precise reference point when narrowing replacement options. Because the Navigator also sits in a heavier vehicle class, wheel and load compatibility should be verified carefully.

235/40R17 is used on the 1998 Lotus Esprit and belongs to the low-profile exotic sports-car category. The short sidewall and wide tread emphasize steering response and performance-focused fitment rather than comfort-oriented touring use. No product listing accompanies this size here, so owners should treat it as a precise fitment identifier rather than a general 17-inch sports-car recommendation. On an application like the Esprit, wheel width, front-versus-rear placement, and suspension clearance are all central to correct tire selection, especially if the car no longer wears its original wheel package.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

285/35R18 appears specifically on the 1998 Lotus Esprit and serves as the wider companion fitment to the car’s 17-inch front tire. This is a specialized rear-performance radial size with a broad footprint and short sidewall, typical of staggered exotic sports-car setups. The listed product is a blackwall Nitto NT555 G2 with a 9.5- to 11.0-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,819 pounds at 50 psi. Because this size is clearly axle-specific, it should not be selected without confirming both wheel width and rear position on the vehicle.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Narrow Whitewall, RWL, Dual-Redline, Redline, Blackwall

205/70R14 appears here on the 1998 Mazda B2500 and represents a practical compact-truck radial fitment with a taller sidewall on a 14-inch wheel. It sits in the utility-oriented end of the spectrum rather than the sporty car or large truck categories. Product options include narrow whitewall, RWL, dual redline, and redline versions from Maxxis and BFGoodrich, making it one of the more visually diverse compact-truck sizes in the year. That variety can help owners match appearance goals while keeping the basic dimensions appropriate to the truck’s wheel package.

265/75R15 is used specifically on the 1998 Mazda B4000 and stands apart from the smaller pickup sizes used elsewhere in the B-Series range. The wider footprint and taller overall stance place it firmly in the truck and utility category, suitable for a more substantial off-road or heavy-use look on a 15-inch wheel. No product listing appears here, so this size should be treated as a key fitment identifier rather than a cue to substitute another 15-inch truck tire casually. Wheel width and any suspension modifications should be checked before purchase.

Rim Diameter: 18 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

275/35R18 is a wide low-profile radial used on the 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 and Mercedes-Benz SL600. This size belongs to the rear-performance luxury roadster category and should be viewed as part of a matched front-and-rear package rather than a general 18-inch option. Available products are blackwall BFGoodrich and Nitto performance tires, with listed rim-width compatibility generally running from 9.0 to 11.0 inches and some load capacities above 1,700 pounds. Precise wheel specification and axle placement are especially important when dealing with this type of staggered luxury performance fitment.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, RWL, Redline, Blackwall

195/60R15 is a compact-to-midsize 1998 passenger-car radial size used on the Mitsubishi Galant, Nissan 240SX, Saab 900, Saturn SC2, Subaru Impreza, Volvo S70, and Volvo V70. The size mixes practical sedan use with sportier compact and coupe applications, which is reflected in its product range. Available choices include blackwall Michelin Primacy 3 and RWL, redline, and wide whitewall BFGoodrich options on 15-inch wheels, with listed rim-width ranges commonly around 5.5 to 7.0 inches. That gives owners both functional and visual flexibility within the same basic fitment.

265/70R15 is a late-1990s truck and SUV radial size used on the 1998 Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, and Nissan Pathfinder. This is a substantial 15-inch utility fitment with a wider footprint than the smaller 225- and 235-series truck sizes, making it suitable for larger sport utilities. No product listing is shown here, so the size itself should guide the search rather than assumptions about interchangeability. Since these vehicles may differ in weight and wheel design, confirming the current wheel width and any suspension changes is still an important part of selecting the right tire.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Wide Whitewall, Narrow Whitewall

195/75R14 is used on the 1998 Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma and reflects a practical compact-pickup radial fitment with relatively tall sidewalls on a 14-inch wheel. It leans more toward everyday utility and ride compliance than visual aggression. Product choices emphasize traditional sidewall treatments, including narrow and wide whitewall options from Coker Classic, Tornel, Maxxis, and Coker Classic Radial lines. That makes this size a good example of how even utilitarian late-1990s truck fitments can offer multiple appearance directions while staying within the correct dimensional category.

Rim Diameter: 17 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall, Wide Whitewall

205/50R17 appears on the 1998 Porsche 911 and Porsche Boxster and serves as a lower-profile 17-inch performance fitment in the Porsche range. It is notably narrower than the rear sizes paired with it on these cars, reinforcing its role in a carefully balanced sports-car setup. Product choices include blackwall BFGoodrich performance tires and an American Classic whitewall option, an unusual styling contrast within a clearly modern performance size. Listed rim-width guidance commonly spans 5.5 to 7.5 inches, and owners should confirm whether the tire is intended for the front axle before ordering.

285/30R18 is used specifically on the 1998 Porsche 911 and sits in the very low-profile rear-performance category. The short sidewall and wide tread are typical of staggered sports-car fitments where rear traction, wheel width, and fender clearance all matter. No product listing appears here, so the size should be treated as a very precise application reference. Owners researching this fitment should confirm whether the car is equipped with the correct 18-inch rear wheels and whether any suspension or body changes have altered the space available for such a specialized tire.

245/45R16 is a 1998 performance radial size used on the Porsche 911 and Toyota Supra. Despite the shared dimensions, those cars occupy different corners of the performance market, so the tire should still be chosen by exact application rather than size alone. The listed products are a blackwall M&H drag radial and a blackwall BFGoodrich/Nitto-style performance category depending on application coverage, making this a size with both street and specialized straight-line options. Careful attention to wheel width and axle placement is especially important in this broad but enthusiast-focused category.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

185/60R14 is used on the 1998 Suzuki Esteem, Toyota Paseo, Toyota Tercel, and Volkswagen Jetta. This lower-profile 14-inch radial size sits between economy and sporty compact fitment, offering a shorter sidewall than many other small-car sizes of the year. The listed product is a blackwall Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 with a 5- to 6.0-inch rim-width range, giving the size a clear road-oriented performance character. Because the same vehicles often appeared with nearby 13- or 15-inch alternatives depending on trim, the wheel diameter should be confirmed before ordering.

Rim Diameter: 15 in  ·  Sidewalls: Blackwall

205/55R15 appears specifically on the 1998 Toyota Celica and belongs to the sport-compact 15-inch category. Its relatively short sidewall and moderate width make it a natural fit for a coupe that sits between everyday compact transportation and a more performance-focused setup. The listed product is a blackwall Vredestein Sprint Plus with a 5.5- to 7.5-inch rim-width range and a stated maximum load capacity of 1,235 pounds at 51 psi. With this size confined to a narrow application here, owners should confirm the exact wheel package rather than relying on model name alone.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL

265/70R16 is used on the 1998 Toyota 4Runner and Toyota T100, placing it in the midsize-to-full-size truck and SUV utility category. This is a substantial 16-inch fitment that supports a stronger stance and greater load capability than narrower truck sizes. The listed product is a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in LT265/70R16/E with RWL styling, a 7.0- to 8.5-inch rim-width range, and a stated maximum load capacity of 3,195 pounds at 80 psi. That specification makes it especially relevant for owners who use their trucks beyond light passenger duty.

Rim Diameter: 16 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Wide Whitewall

215/70R16 appears on the 1998 Toyota RAV4 and sits in a compact SUV fitment category that balances taller sidewalls with a modern 16-inch wheel. The size is narrower and more road-oriented than larger truck sizes, but still carries more utility character than most passenger-car fitments. Product choices include a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in RWL form and wide whitewall offerings from Coker Classic and American Classic. That means owners can lean either toward utility tread character or a more distinctive sidewall look while staying within the same dimensional fitment.

Rim Diameter: 14 in  ·  Sidewalls: RWL, Blackwall, Pin-White-Stripe, Narrow Whitewall, Redline, Wide Whitewall

215/70R14 is used specifically on the 1998 Toyota Tacoma and represents a practical compact-truck radial size with a fuller sidewall on a 14-inch wheel. It is less aggressive than the Tacoma’s available 31X10.50R15 fitment, making it better aligned with everyday road use and standard-duty truck roles. Product choices include RWL, blackwall, pinstripe whitewall, and narrow whitewall styles from Cooper, Michelin, BFGoodrich, and Maxxis. That range gives this size unusual visual flexibility for a compact-truck application while preserving its basic utility proportions.

205/50R15 is shared by the 1998 Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta and falls into the sport-compact 15-inch category. The short sidewall and moderate tread width make it a more performance-oriented alternative to taller-profile compact sizes used elsewhere in the same model families. No broad product set is shown beyond the specific fitment listing, so the size itself becomes the main guidepost. Owners should confirm whether their Golf or Jetta carries the sportier wheel package associated with this size, since those models also appear with 14-inch fitments in the same year.
