HOW TO READ CAR AND BIKE TYRE MARKINGS

• Nowadays, new tyre buyers find it difficult to
  understand all of the details associated with
  selecting the right tyre for their vehicle or
  motorcycle. In times when road safety is a huge
  priority, no one deserves to end up with a set of
  mismatched tyres on their wheels. This is why
  knowing how to read car and bike tyre markings is
  a major benefit.
• If you are not sure how to properly read tyre
  codes and sizes, you are not the only one. With
  so many different tyre manufacturers out there,
  it can be challenging to find the size and date
  of manufacture or the information about the rim
  protector.

EXAMINING THE SIDEWALL OF THE TYRE

• Each tyre has a sidewall with a lot of markings
  and text located there. A common example for a
  tyre sidewall is P225/75 R17 95H. They
  basically refer to
• P This is a letter that shows that P stands
  for passenger vehicle. If you see a marking that
  starts with LT, it is a tyre made for light
  trucks.
• 225 This is the width of the tyre measured in
  millimetres, ranging from one sidewall to
  another. If you want to upsize to a wider tyre,
  this is the number that you need to checkout.
• 75 This number indicates the aspect ratio of the
  tyre. In other words, it measures the height of a
  tyres cross section up to its width.

EXAMINING THE SIDEWALL OF THE TYRE

• R This is the letter that determines that your
  tyre is Radial. Nowadays, having a R tyre means
  choosing tubeless tyres, which offer better
  traction and even tread that connects with the
  road.
• 17 The 17 here refers to the wheel diameter
  which in this case, is 17 inches.
• 86 Load bearing capacity is the metric
  associated with this number.
• H Last in the combination of letters and numbers
  is the speed rating or speed index.
