How To Read Tyre Size?

Look for the tyre size code on the sidewall

Read the first number as tyre width in millimetres

Read the second number as aspect ratio, the sidewall height as a percentage of width

Read the letter after the aspect ratio as tyre construction type, usually R for radial

Read the next number as rim diameter in inches

Read the load index number as maximum load rating

Read the speed rating letter as maximum speed capability

Check for extra markings such as XL, LT, or M+S if present

Match the full tyre size exactly when replacing tyres
