What is the size of a 195 tire in inches?
2 Answers
195 tire is 15 inches. Below is relevant knowledge about car tires: Functions of tires: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they mitigate the impacts experienced during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. The crucial role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized. Classification of tires: Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Compact spare tire (non-full-size spare): This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary replacement. It can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80km/h.
Buddy, you asked about the size of a 195 tire, but the number 195 actually refers to the tire's section width in millimeters, not the rim diameter in inches. The rim diameter is usually specified in the full tire size, like the '15' in 195/65 R15, which means 15 inches. Common compact cars like the Volkswagen Polo or Honda Civic might use 195-width tires paired with 14 or 15-inch rims, while SUVs or pickups often go larger, like 16 inches. To know the exact size, just check the markings on the tire sidewall—it’s all printed there clearly. Don’t mix up sizes when replacing tires, as it can affect suspension balance and even fuel efficiency. Regular checks also reduce risks and keep your drive safer.
