Problem is, there often isn't just one size of tyre that might be listed as

You probably need to know exactly what size wheel rims you have fitted too.
Unfortunately my experience (and I worked for Goodyear for 5 years) is that
tyre fitters will often prey upon the lack of knowledge of the motoring public,
and that car salesmen probably don't know what tyres should be fitted either.
