How Are Tires Sized?

Tire sizes are made up of a collection of letters and numbers that all come together to create a multi-dimensional sizing.

It can be broken down to 4 important parts that represent the diameter of the wheel inside of the tire, the width of it and the profile.

A fourth factor that can be found when buying tires is the "speed rating" - this lets you know the top speed that the tire is designed to climb to.

Tires that are rated for high-speed use tend to be more expensive as they are made from different materials and have to go through tougher testing.
