For example, if a tire's specification is 205/55/R16-91V:1. 205: refers to the tire width of 205mm. 2. 55: refers to the aspect ratio, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. 3. R: indicates that the tire is a radial tire (the inner layer of this tire is manufactured using the radial method). 4. 16: refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches. 5. 91: refers to the load index of 91, representing that this tire can bear a maximum load of 615 kilograms, and four tires would be 615×4=2460 kilograms. 6. V: indicates a speed rating of 240 kilometers per hour.
