175/60 R15 Tyres

175/60 R15 tyres are installed in family cars. The size of the tyre can be seen on its sidewall where it is presented with the help of a string of numbers (the "R" in the tyre's size denotes its radial construction). The first number in the 175/60 R15 tyre informs about the tyre's tread width (175 mm). The second number equals the 175/60 R15 tyre profile's height and its percentage ratio to the tyre's tread width (60% out of 175 mm). The number 15 in the 175/60 R15 tyre constitutes the diameter of the wheel rim (provided in inches) on which the tyre should be installed. See the 175/60 R15 tyre model in our broad selection.
