Tyre Specifications

On the sidewalls of your tyres, you will find some important information regarding their description. It's important to have the right tyres fitted to your vehicle for safety reasons as well as from both a legal and insurance perspective.

In the example to the right: -

195 = Nominal section width of the tyre in millimetres
50 = Aspect ratio (in this case the section height of the tyre is 50% of the section width). Also referred to as the 'profile' of the tyre
R = Indicates radial ply construction
16 = Rim (wheel) diameter code
84V = Service description - showing the load index and the speed symbol of the tyre

The tyre requirements for your vehicle appear on the tyre placard.
