TYRE MARKINGS
1. P indicates that the tyre is for
passenger vehicle use. This index is
not always shown.
2. The width of the tyre from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge, in millimetres.
3. The aspect ratio, also known as the
profile, gives the sidewall height as a
percentage of the tread width. So, if
the tread width is 205 mm and the
aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height
will be 102 mm.
4. R indicates that the tyre is of Radial ply
construction.
5. The diameter of the wheel rim, given
in inches.
6. The load index for the tyre. This index
is not always shown.
The load index and speed rating
on all replacement tyres must be,
at least, the same specification as
the manufacturer's original
equipment supplied with the
vehicle (except for approved
winter tyres, see 240, USING
WINTER TYRES). If in doubt,
consult a Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
7. The speed rating denotes the
maximum speed at which the tyre may
be used for extended periods. See 236,
