metric tire sizing system. The letter P as the ﬁrst

engineered to standards set by the U. S. Tire and

Rim Association.

(B) Tire Width: The three-digit number indicates the

tire section width in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall.

the tire height-to-width measurements. For example, if

the tire size aspect ratio is 60, as shown in item C of the

illustration, it would mean that the tire’s sidewall is

60 percent as high as it is wide.
