2. 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.

3. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Starting in 1972 tires were specified by load rating, using a letter code. In practice, a higher load rating tire was also a wider tire. In this system a tire had a letter, optionally followed by "R" for radial tires, followed by the aspect ratio, a dash and the diameter – C78-15 or CR78-15 for bias and radial, respectively. Each diameter of ...

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

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio

   The aspect ratio of a geometric shape is the ratio of its sizes in different dimensions. For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter side—the ratio of width to height, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] when the rectangle is oriented as a " landscape ".

   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
