215/45 R16 Tyres

215/45 R16 tyres are produced with dynamic passenger cars in mind. The size of the tyre can be seen on its sidewall where it is provided in a form of a string of signs. The first number expresses in millimetres the tread width of the 215/45 R16 tyre (in this case it is 215 millimetres). The second number equals the percentage ratio between the tyre's height and its tread width. Here it is 45% out of 215 mm. The "R" in the tyre's size denotes its radial construction. The last number constitutes the diameter of the wheel rim (provided in inches) on which the 215/45 R16 tyre should be installed. See the 215/45 R16 tyre model in our offer.
