Which brand should you pick?
Chrysler does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.
The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

About the Chrysler Town & Country
The Town & Country was Chrysler's upmarket minivan, the badge you bought when you wanted the Dodge Grand Caravan with leather and a DVD player. It ran until 2016, when the Pacifica took over, and it is still one of the most common used family vehicles in America. Tire sizes are small, tall and cheap, which is the one bit of good news about running a twenty-year-old minivan.
Launched in 1990. Launched in 1990, the Town & Country arrived as the luxury version of Chrysler's Caravan and Voyager minivans, complete with simulated wood side trim, and gave the company a premium entry in the segment it had invented in 1983.
How to tell the model years apart
Wheel and tire sizes follow the generation, not the badge, so identifying yours matters before you order.
2001-2007
Fourth generation (RS)
A rounded minivan with a low nose, a large chrome winged Chrysler badge in the grille and tail lights that wrap around the rear corners. Short- and long-wheelbase versions were both sold, and this is the generation that got quad seating with captain's chairs in 2001 and Stow 'n Go folding seats in 2005. Base cars ran 15-inch wheels; Touring and Limited moved to 16s.
2008-2016
Fifth generation (RT)
Squarer and more upright, with a flat hood, a tall bright grille and a sharp crease along the sliding door track; long wheelbase only in America. A 2011 update brought a new interior and the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. Touring and Touring-L trims run 225/65R16, with 17-inch wheels on higher trims. The wood trim was long gone by this point.
Tire sizes: 225/65R16
What the press said
The Town & Country was reviewed throughout its life as a practical, well-equipped minivan whose main weaknesses were interior materials and, in the mid-2000s, a reputation for transmission and electrical problems. Reviewers praised the seating flexibility, particularly the Stow 'n Go system that folded the second and third rows entirely into the floor, and the rear-seat entertainment options. The 2011 update with the Pentastar V6 was received as a substantial improvement in power and refinement. Handling was rarely praised and rarely mattered to the buyers.
the Town & Country faithfully performs its duties well.

Was it a success?
The Town & Country was a commercial success for a quarter of a century and a big part of the reason Chrysler dominated the American minivan market. Resale is poor, which is why a high-spec used example is one of the cheapest ways to move seven people. Reliability reputation is below average: the 2001-2007 cars in particular are known for automatic transmission and electrical faults, while the 2011-on Pentastar cars are better but still not class-leading.
Did you know?
- The Town & Country name first appeared in 1941 on a wood-bodied Chrysler station wagon, decades before it was used on a minivan.
- Chrysler spent about $400 million developing the Stow 'n Go seating system introduced in 2005, which folds both rear rows completely into underfloor bins.
- Counting all its nameplate variants, the Chrysler minivan family is the 13th best-selling automotive nameplate in the world with over 12 million sold.
Tire options on the Chrysler Town & Country
Sizes are old-fashioned in the best way: 215/70R15 and 215/65R16 on 2001-2007 vans, and 225/65R16 or 225/60R17 on the 2008-2016 cars. Everything is square, front-wheel drive only, and none of these vans ever came with run-flats; all of them carry a full-size or near-full-size spare, usually under the front passenger floor on the later cars, which is worth knowing before you go looking for it in the back. Original equipment was Goodyear and Michelin touring all-seasons with a strong bias toward quiet and ride. Because a loaded minivan is genuinely heavy, the load index on the placard matters: fitting a standard-load passenger tire where an extra-load tire was specified is a common mistake on these vans. The tall 65- and 70-series sidewalls are forgiving of potholes and good in snow, winter tires are cheap and plentiful in every one of these sizes, and nobody has a sensible reason to upsize. Expect 50,000 to 60,000 miles from a decent all-season.
