well 225/50/r16 225 (the higher the number the wider the tire) is the width 50 (the lower the number the lower the profile) is the hight and r16 is the rim size i went to tire rack and looked it up, just went for replacment wheels and the repair manual might tell you..
So mine lookes like it should your probly looks more like the tires on my dad tacoma he has 215/55/r14 or somthing like that taller and skinnyer |

225 is your width yes , its 225 mm wide 50 is your sidewall height (50 % of 225 mm) R stands for radial construction and 16 is your rim diameter . then there's a lot of smaller letter explaining your load index rating speed and construction date ext ext. |
well you said "Funny?...wouldn't it just make the car seem to sit higher off the ground?"
My answer was no cause my tire's are a lower profile then yours are. Cause of the 50. I guess i should have said that from the start sry. |
Hey guys, the stock size is actually a 205/55/16. You can also run a 215/55/16 (a teeny bit taller) and the most popular, 225/50/16. The last size gives you the most useable tread on the ground, and is back to the stock sidewall height. I work as a tire tech at America's Tire Co., and can look up any other tire info you guys need.
And tire size (X/Y/RZ) works like this: X= Bead to bead length in millimeters Y= The percentage of X left over for sidewall height R= Radial Tire construction Z= Rim size, in inches (16 inches for stock wheels) |
