  2. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [24] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.

  3. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

    Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch

    For example, a 10% change in load or inflation pressure usually does not result in a 10% change in the contact patch area [3] because the load or pressure on a tire can be altered freely, and the contact patch area is affected by the tire geometry and stiffness. Further, the size of the contact patch cannot be simply calculated as load divided ...

  6. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

    An example is a 35 mm tire on a rim with an ETRTO 17 mm internal width, or one-and-a-half times the rim's external width. Considerable variation outside this range is safe, but very wide tires on a narrow rim can overstress the rim and damage the tire sidewalls, whereas very narrow tires on a wide rim give a hard ride and can result in a high ...

  7. 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.
