Michelin North America Inc. is introducing 13 new sizes in its Uniroyal Laredo Cross Country tire line. That will bring the total number of sizes to 27.
According to Michelin, the new sizes provide dealers with "a high-margin product that fits 90% of P-metric sizes for today's most popular SUVs and pick-ups."
The sizes will be rolled out in two waves. Eight new sizes will be available to consumers in April: P205/75R15, P265/75R15, P255/75/R15, P225/75R16/XL, P215/70R16, P225/70R16, LT265/75R16/E and LT285/75R16/D.
