Decoding the numbers on your tyre is essential for understanding its size, load capacity, and speed rating. Here’s a breakdown:
185: Tire width in millimeters.
70: Aspect ratio, showing tyre height as a percentage of the width.
R: Radial construction type.
14: Rim diameter in inches.
88: Load index, meaning the tire can carry up to 560 kg.
T: Speed rating, allowing safe speeds up to 190 km/h (118 mph).
Understanding these specs helps you choose the right tire, avoid overloading, and maintain safe driving conditions.
