Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H)

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-

signed for passenger vehicles (not all
tires have this information).

2. Three-digit number (215): This num-

ber gives the width in millimeters of
the tire from sidewall edge to side-
wall edge.

3. Two-digit number (65): This number,

known as the aspect ratio, gives the
tire’s ratio of height to width.

4. R: The “R” stands for radial.

5. Two-digit number (15): This number

is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.

6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This

number is the tire’s load index. It is a
measurement of how much weight
each tire can support. You may not
find this information on all tires be-
cause it is not required by law.

7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not

drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.
