@tkin33,
Hello Friends,
Tire sizes express the tire’s various measurements in a standardized format written on the side of the tire, also called the sidewall. The three measurements included in all tire sizes are section width, aspect ratio, and diameter. Depending on their intended use, some tire sizes also include information such as speed rating.
Tire sizes are expressed in the format WWW/AAXDD. WWW is the tire’s section width, measured in millimeters. AA is the aspect ratio or profile of the tire, which expresses the tire’s height as a percentage of its width. X is a letter indicating the tire’s internal construction. DD is the diameter in inches of the wheel that the tire is intended to be mounted on. An example of a tire size written in this format is 225/50R16.
This particular tire has a section width of 225 millimeters (8.86 inches). Section width is measured from the widest point of the outer sidewall - the side with the tire sizes and brand name that faces out from the vehicle - to the widest point of the inner sidewall when the tire is mounted on a specified width wheel. Narrower tires have lower section width numbers.
Thanks and Regards,
