2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   [14] The first three characters indicate the manufacturing plant and are assigned by the NHTSA [15] (tires made before 2015 had only two characters). Following the manufacturer's plant code, the next two digits within a DOT code signify the tire size. For instance, the size code "WC" might correspond to the tire size 205/55 R16.

3. 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.

4. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Increasing the aspect ratio will increase the height of the tire and hence the circumference. Off-roading tires may use a different measurement scheme: Tread width × Outside diameter, followed by wheel size (all in inches) – for example 31×10.50R15 (787 mm × 267 mm R380 in metric designation). The size of the wheel, however, is denoted as ...

5. Michelin TRX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_TRX

   The Michelin TRX, (and the related TDX), is a radial tire introduced by the Michelin Group in 1975. It is one of the first volume-produced low-profile tires. Although technologically advanced, and reasonably successful, the tire's requirement for a non-standard rim ultimately condemned it to a relatively short commercial life.

7. Ground pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure

   Increasing the size of the contact area on the ground (the footprint) in relation to the weight decreases the unit ground pressure. Ground pressure of 14 kPa (2 psi) or less is recommended for fragile ecosystems like marshes. [4] Decreasing the ground pressure increases the flotation, allowing easier passage of the body over soft terrain.
