   55 – indicates that the height of the sidewall of the tire is 55% of the width (107 mm) R – this is a radial tire; 16 – this tire fits 16 in (410 mm) rims; 85 – the load index, a maximum of 515 kg (1,135 lb) per tire in this case; H – the speed index, this means the maximum permitted speed, here 210 km/h (130 mph)

3. Run-flat tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-flat_tire

   A run-flat tire is a pneumatic vehicle tire designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, allowing the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds for limited distances. First developed by tire manufacturer Michelin in the 1930s, run-flat tires were introduced to the public market in the 1980s. They have increased in ...

4. Plus sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sizing

   Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.

5. Michelin PAX System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_PAX_System

   Rather than extra stiff and supportive sidewalls, the PAX system relies on a newly designed asymmetric wheel, a supportive insert and a similarly asymmetric tire combination to provide an extended run-flat capability of up to 125 miles at 50 or 55 mph. The PAX system weighed approximately the same as four conventional tires plus a spare.

6. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Force variation axes. Tire forces are divided into three axes: radial, lateral, and tangential (or fore-aft). The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle.
