Car Tyre Sizing / Tyres Sidewall Marking
This guide can help you identify the right tyre size for your car via reading the sidewall markings of your tyres.
Guide for identifying tyre size suitable for your car
The most efficient way to ascertain your car's tyre size, of course, is to go outside to the vehicle and check it yourself. The tyre's size will be imprinted clearly on the sidewall. The picture above illustrates what you are looking for.
Car Tyre Sizes
Tyre sizes are made up of a number of different numbers and letters. For example tyre size 205/55 R 16 79 V is made up of the following information:
205 - The tyre section width in millimetres
55 - The aspect ratio in % (the height of the sidewall divided by the tyres width)
R - Denotes the tyre's construction type - in this case it's a radial
16 - Rim diameter in inches
