Tire designations
Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires
(see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:
The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire designation):
1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number,
the wider the tire.
2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.
