Next in the example is “82,” which is a number that you use in a chart, which will tell you how much weight your car can carry. The next number in our example is “15.” That’s the diameter of the wheel rim, which is usually measured in inches. Radial ply construction is an industry standard, for what it’s worth. If you see a “B,” that means belted bias. You’ll get better steering and better overall handling. Confusing, yes, but the main thing to remember here is that, if safety is your primary concern, you want the aspect ratio to be 70 or a lower number. So, in this case, the tire’s section height is 60 percent of the tire’s section width. The aspect ratio is the percentage that compares the tire’s section height with the tire’s section width. In our example, the width is 205 millimeters. If there’s no letter, you have a metric tire, which is known as a European size. “ST” stands for “Special Trailer.” Those are tires for trailers. It stands for “light truck tire,” the type of truck that can tow a trailer or has a 1-ton load capacity. If you see an “LT,” you have a larger vehicle. That stands for “passenger vehicle tire.” That would include vehicles like SUVs, minivans, and even small pickup trucks. Chances are, you probably will have a “P” on the tire.

The numbers, as you might expect, are on the sides of your tires. You’ll need to find some important numbers in order to calculate your tire size - but that isn’t difficult.
