You have a limited tire inventory, and can only stock certain sizes. Deciding what to stock takes a thorough knowledge of your market, of course.

But you can't go wrong by stocking size P215/60R16 -- for at least the next few years. Why? Its popularity precedes itself -- literally.

To find out more about this key size in your in-store SKU lineup, click on the latest blog from Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich: "Look for size P215/60R16 at a service bay near you."

Is that the most popular size in your inventory? If not, what is? Let us know by leaving a comment!
