The counts describe this library, not market availability. Source page numbers are the labels stored with each record; PDF viewer page positions can differ from printed page numbers.
Using a tire-size record
Read the scope before matching a size. An entry from snow-chain instructions has a different purpose from a factory equipment listing. Match the trim, wheel option and full source conditions; the presence of a size is not permission to fit it to every vehicle.
The size string is only part of the decision. Compare it with the vehicle placard and documentation, including the required load and inflation information. The tire comparator calculates geometry; it does not approve fitment.
What the source date tells you
The verification date belongs to the stored record. It is not the vehicle’s build date or a guarantee that the document has not changed. The source link beside each row lets you check the document and page used for that entry. Different rows may cite different documents.
