Buying tires for your car seems like a simple enough process, but it's important to get the right size and kind of tire. Using the wrong type or size of tire can cause your car to not drive as efficiently and straight as possible. Our team at Earthycars is here to offer tips on tires and the importance of knowing how to read tire sizes so you buy the correct tires for your vehicle. The letters and numbers you see on a tire all represent something different but something that's important for getting the correct tire size. An example of a common tire size is P195/60R15. Here is what the numbers and letters mean.
- The letter "P" represents the type of tire, which is a passenger tire.
- The number 195 represents the width of the tire when measuring from sidewall to sidewall
- The number 60 represents the ratio of the tire's height to its width.
- The letter R states that it's a radial tire.
- The number 15 means the measurement of the tire from one end to the other.
