The parameters of automobile tire size model are expressed as the percentage of section width and flattening rate, and the unit is millimeter. Add: tire type code, rim diameter (inch), load index (allowable bearing mass code) and allowable speed code. Suppose tyre size is 195/55/R 16 85V.
195- refers to the tire width 195 mm.
55—— refers to the tire flattening rate, that is, the section height is 55% of the width.
R- refers to radial tire (the inner layer of this tire is radial tire).
15- refers to the rim diameter of 15 inch.
85—— The load index 85 represents the maximum bearing capacity of 5 15kg, and the four tires are 5 15×4 = 2060kg.
V- refers to the speed level of 240 km/h.
