205/50 R16 Tyres

205/50 R16 tyres are designed for family cars and executive cars. The size of the tyre can be seen on its sidewall along with other labels. The first number informs about the tread width of the tyre and it is provided in millimetres. In the case of the 205/50 R16 tyre it is 205 mm. The second number equals the percentage ratio between the tyre's height and its tread width. Here it is 50% out of 205 mm. The "R" in the tyre's size denotes its radial construction. The last number (16 here) constitutes the diameter of the wheel rim on which the tyre should be installed. See the 205/50 R16 tyre model in our rich offer. There's everything for everyone.
