Search or Add Tires from the Tires Database
Mitchell Cloud Estimating has a tires database functionality (similar to UltraMate) that allows you to search for specific tires and add them to the estimate.
Note: This feature is a Value Add Option (VAO) that has to be purchased as an add-on.

Metric - Choose Millimeters (mm), Width (mm), Ratio (%), and Diameter (in)
United States customary units - Inches (in), Height (in), Width (in), Diameter (in)
