37 – the tire is 37 in (940 mm) in diameter; 12.5 – the tire has a cross section of 12.5 in (320 mm) R – this is a radial tire; 17 – this tire fits 17 in (430 mm) rims; LT – this is a light truck tire
It is designed to make tire sizing consistent and clear. It replaces overlapping informal systems that ambiguously distinguished between sizes. For example, at least 6 different "26 inch" sizes exist (just by American notation), and "27 inch" wheels have a larger diameter than American "28 inch" (French "700C") wheels.
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.
Although wheel sizes are marketed with measurements in inches, the Michelin TRX introduced in 1975 was marketed in millimeters. For example, 17 × 8.5 × +35 designates a diameter of 17 inches, width of 8.5 inches, and +35 mm positive offset (432 × 216 × +35 in fully metric numbers).
ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles. The great advantage of ETRTO sizing is that it is unambiguous; previously, nominal dimensions were used which were interpreted in different ways by different countries and manufacturers - a problem for the end user.
