Understanding Tyre Markings: Decode Your Tyres with BandS Auto Tech! Ever wonder what all those numbers & letters on your tyres mean? Let's break it down together! Here's a quick guide to understanding tyre markings: Width: The first number indicates the width of the tyre in millimeters. For example, "225" means the tyre is 225 millimeters wide. Aspect Ratio: The second number represents the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tyre's sidewall height to its width. For instance, in "225/50R17, " the aspect ratio is 50, indicating that the sidewall height is 50% of the tyre's width. Radial Construction: Many modern tyres feature radial construction, denoted by the letter "R" in the tyre size. Radial tyres have plies that run radially across the tire, providing improved stability, traction, and tread life. Diameter: The final number signifies the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. In "215/55R16, " the diameter is 17 inches. Other markings include: Load Index: Max. weight it can support. Speed Rating: Max. speed to operate safely. Treadwear, Traction, & Temperature Ratings: Durability, grip, & heat resistance of the tyre.
