Tire Size The letter R in a tire size stands for Radial, which means the layers run radially across the tire. Wheel Diameter is the size of the wheel measured from one end to the other. It tells us the size of the wheel that the tire is intended to fit. A size P215/65 R15 tire is made for a wheel with a 15 diameter. Load Index indicates the maximum load that the tire can support when properly inflated.

Tire Specs Explained: Rim Width Range for Street / Highway Tires For example, a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0 wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5 to 7.5 wide.The tire has a section width of 8.23 (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0 wide wheel.im Width Range. Because tires have flexible sidewalls, a single tire size will fit on a variety of rim widths. A tire's rim width range identifies the narrowest to the widest rim widths upon which the tire is designed to be mounted during its tens-of-thousands of miles and years of service.

Hamster wheel Choice tests with Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) have shown that they prefer larger wheels; the animals chose a wheel diameter of 35 cm (14 in) over 23 cm (9 in), which itself was preferred over 17.5 cm (7 in).

Metric Conversion for Bicycle Tire Sizes For example, a tire that measures 26 x 1.75 inches has an ISO/ETRTO number of 47-559, while a tire measuring 700 x 23 mm is equal to 23-622. The first number gives the inside width of the tire, which can be compressed or expanded somewhat to fit a range of wheel widths.

Go Kart Wheels The last nu mber 5 is the wheels diameter that the tire will mount on, in this case it is a 5 inch wheel. (In kart racing, especially oval racing, you would usually mount your wheels wider then your tires suggested. 1 to 2 inches is normal).

Tire code If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26 x12.00-12) is the approximate height in inches, the second number (26x 12.00 -12) is the approximate width in inches, and the third number (26x12.00- 12) is the rim diameter in inches.

Calculating Approximate Tire Dimensions The last number (225/45R17) is the diameter of the wheel in inches. If you are familiar with measurements in the metric system, the wheel diameter can be converted into millimeters by multiplying it by 25.4.

- Advertised widths are between the rim lips. Usually the outside-to-outside dimension of the lips is 1 more (each lip being about 1/2 wide) In general, a 245/45ZR16 is designed to fit a wheel that is 7.5 to 9 wide (advertised width). Depending upon the tire manufacturer, this could go up in a range from 8 to 9.5.

- Wheel sizes are defined as (diameter x width), so that a 17” diameter wheel might be 17x7”, 17x7.5” or 17x8”. 1  Widths tend to scale up with the diameter, so that while you will almost never see a 17x5” or a 17x10” wheel, a 14x5” or 19x10” wheel are standard sizes.

- A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width. If you flatten out a tire and measure the total width from bead to bead, it should be approximately 2.5 x the ISO width. If your tire is too narrow for the rim there's an increased risk of tire/rim damage from road hazards.

How to Measure a Bicycle Tire To determine the ISO diameter, measure in millimeters from the center of the wheel to only the inner edge of the tire and double the figure. Step 3. Measure the flat surface across the tire's tread from one side of the tire to the other. This is the tire width. Measure in inches for traditional tire measurements or in millimeters for the ISO measurement. Combine the measurements of tire diameter and width to obtain the tire size. Traditional bike tire sizes place the diameter first and the width second. ISO sizes place the width first and the diameter second. Standard tire sizes are in full-inch increments for the diameter. If you are slightly over or under, round to the nearest inch.

Calculating Approximate Tire Dimensions All tire sizes are assigned specific rim widths upon which they are measured (measuring rim), as well as can often be mounted on slightly narrower or wider wheels (rim width range). Therefore, it is important to note that actual tire section width will depend on the wheel width the tire is mounted on.

Tire Specs Explained: Rim Width Range for Street / Highway Tires The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2 change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10. For example: a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0 wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5 to 7.5 wide. The tire has a section width of 8.23 (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0 wide wheel.

What Difference Does Wheel Size Make? For example, if the original stock tire size is 215/65R17 and you buy 18-inch wheels, the right tire for the larger rims might be 225/55R18, with the differences being the larger diameter, wider tread (225 millimeters instead of 215) and lower profile, 55 instead of 65.
