Do you know the tire and wheel size? If you've got that: it's just some simple Math...

Most manufacturers have a size chart that will tell you which size to buy for your tires. I’d offer a strong recommendation for SnapRing covers. They cost more than some but they stay on much better and they are easier to put on and remove than other brands.

+1 for snapping tire savers

Here's what we have on our 2015 E450 with 225/75R16 tires.

29.3" Diameter


225/75-16:
225x.75= 168.85
(conversion of section width to height; based on the aspect ratio...)
168.75x2=337.5 (top and bottom of the wheel
337.5/25.4=13.3 convert to inches...
you now have the height of the "rubber portion in inches

Add 16" for the height of the wheel...
