Default Re: specs in mm, % and inches

So a 205/55-16 would translate into:

205: 205 millimeters is the width of the tire
55: 55% of the tread width is the sidewall height (e.g. 205 * 55%)
16: This is the diameter of the wheel that the tire is to be mounted on.

Hope this helps.

tire width (in mm) / profile height (in % of tire width) / rim size that this tire will fit (inches)
