Tyre Size Chichester

Tyre dimensions are listed on the sidewall of all tyres, using an alphanumeric code. The markings refer to different aspects as well as features of a specific tyre.

Most of the Tyre size markings follow the same format, explained below:

For example: On a tyre with marking "205/55 R16 82H"

  • The first three numbers (205) indicate the width of a tyre in millimetres. The width is measured from sidewall to sidewall.
  • The following two digits after width (55) indicates the “aspect ratio” of the tyre. The aspect ratio means the percentage height of a tyre in respect to its width. A higher percentage of aspect ratio results in much taller sidewalls.
  • The letter “R” refers to radial construction.
  • The two-digit number following the construction (16) indicates the rim diameter of the tyre. It is expressed in inches.
  • The following two or three-digit number after the diameter indicates the load index of that tyre. Load index refers to the maximum weight that the specific tyre can support at a permissible speed limit. In the example above, the tyre can support weight up to 475kgs or 1047 pounds because it has a load index of 82.
  • The last letter indicates the speed index. In the example above, the tyre has an “H” speed index. This means that the tyre can withstand speeds up to 210 km/h or 130 mph.

Other Tyres Chichester Markings Include:

SSR: These markings indicate that the tyre is run-flat.

M+S: M+S refers to “mud and snow”. Any tyre with this mark can drive optimally through muddy and snowy roads.

DOT code: The DOT code tells information about when and where the specific tyre was manufactured. 40/2021: The last digits refer to the week and the year the tyre was manufactured.
