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

   Modern road tires have several measurements associated with their size as specified by tire codes like 225/70R14. The first number in the code (e.g., "225") represents the nominal tire width in millimeters. This is followed by the aspect ratio (e.g.,"70"), which is the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the nominal tire width.

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. Aspect ratio - Wikipedia

   Pixel aspect ratio; Photolithography: the aspect ratio of an etched, or deposited structure is the ratio of the height of its vertical side wall to its width. HARMST High Aspect Ratios allow the construction of tall microstructures without slant; Tire code; Tire sizing; Turbocharger impeller sizing; Wing aspect ratio of an aircraft or bird

6. Formula One tyres - Wikipedia

   During the 1960s, Dunlop introduced improved nylon casings, reduced aspect ratio, significantly increased tyre width, and the use of synthetic rubber. [3] Slick tyres were introduced to Formula One by Firestone at the 1971 Spanish Grand Prix.

7. Motorcycle tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_tyre

   2 or 3 digit number: The "aspect ratio" of the sidewall height to the total width of the tyre, as a percentage. An optional letter indicating construction of the fabric carcass of the tyre: B: bias belt (where the sidewalls are the same material as the tread, leading to a rigid ride) D: diagonal; R: radial. if omitted, then it is a cross ply tyre
