How we make money
Right now: we don't
TreadSize is currently in its early stage. The tools are free, the guides are free, and there are no active affiliate links or advertising on the site.
Planned: disclosed affiliate links
We plan to add affiliate links to tire retailers (such as Tire Rack and similar). Here is how that will work:
- Links will be clearly marked as affiliate links with a disclosure notice at the point of use.
- We earn a commission only if you click and make a purchase — at no extra cost to you.
- The commercial relationship never influences what the calculator shows. The formulas are deterministic math — there is nothing to bias.
- We will only link to retailers with good reputations and return policies.
No ads, no data selling
We do not run display advertising. We do not sell your data — there is nothing to sell, because we do not collect the tire sizes you enter.

Calculation scope
Nominal dimensions from the size markings supplied. Vehicle installation is not verified.
Method and inputs
- Nominal geometry calculated from tire-size markings
- Original-equipment size references supplied by users or vehicle placards

Calculated dimensions do not verify the tire model, load or speed rating, approved rim width, wheel offset, physical clearance, or vehicle systems. Confirm those against manufacturer specifications before installation.
