As you can see on every tyre’s sidewall, the tyre size is a combination of letters and numbers. This alpha-numeric code will give you detailed information on several factors - tyre measurements, speed index, aspect ratio, etc.
For example, a tyre size 185/60 R14 82H will provide you with the following information:
185: These digits indicate the tyre width in millimetres.
60: This denotes the aspect ratio in percentage. It is calculated by dividing the height of the sidewall by the tyre's width.
R- It is a tyre’s type of construction. In this case, it's radial.
14- Denotes its rim diameter in inches.
82- This signifies the load index.
H- And finally, the alphabet denotes its speed rating. It indicates the tyre's maximum speed limit in miles per hour. In this case it is 130 mph.
