When booking a mobile tyre fitting with All Kent Tyres, having your correct tyre size ensures our mobile fitting van arrives with the exact specification your car needs. Understanding the string of letters and numbers stamped into the rubber sidewall is surprisingly simple.
Breaking Down an Example: 205/55 R16 91V
- 205 (Tyre Width): The nominal width of the tyre across its widest point in millimetres.
- 55 (Aspect Ratio / Profile): The sidewall height expressed as a percentage of the width (here, 55% of 205mm).
- R (Radial Construction): Standard modern radial tyre ply construction.
- 16 (Rim Diameter): The wheel rim size in inches.
- 91 (Load Index): The maximum weight capacity of the tyre (91 corresponds to 615 kg per wheel).
- V (Speed Rating): The maximum approved speed (V corresponds to 149 mph).
Where Else Can You Find Your Tyre Size?
Your vehicle handbook, the driver door jamb sticker, or inside your fuel filler flap will also list your vehicle approved front and rear tyre sizes alongside recommended tyre inflation pressures.
