R represents the tire type code, where R stands for radial tire; 4. 17 represents the rim diameter, meaning the tire is suitable for 17-inch rims; 5. 99 represents the load index of the tire, indicating the maximum weight the tire can bear, with 99 corresponding to a maximum weight of 775KG; 6. H represents the speed rating of the tire, indicating the maximum speed the tire can handle, with H corresponding to a maximum speed of 210KM/H.
