General Client Question
The size of your car tyre is printed on the side of the tyre, or the sidewall. This is written as a sequence of numbers and letters which carry their own meaning.
For example, a tyre size 205/55R1691V can be broken down to 5 parts.
- 205 –Width of the tyre in millimeters
- 55 – Height of the tyre (measured between wheel rim and top of the tyre) as a percentage of the tyre width, also known as aspect ratio. For example, this tyre has an aspect ratio of 55, which means the height of the tyre is equal to 55% of the width (205mm). This equals roughly 112.75mm.
- R16 – Diameter of the rim in inches
- 91 – Load index of the tyre (which corresponds to the weight each tyre can carry safely)
- V – Speed index, which indicates the maximum speed the tyre can be safely driven at
