Tire designations
Example:
195 — tire width in mm
/70 — height to width ratio (the height of the tire cross-section is 70% of the width) Unless there is a special indication of the ratio of transverse dimensions (for example, 175 R 14), then we are talking about the normal ratio of height and width, which for radial tires is 82%.
N — speed class, H: up to 210 km/h (new tires no longer have this mark in this place).
R - radial design (radial tire).
14 — rim diameter in inches.
89 — characteristic of permissible load.
Please note: If there is an M+S designation between the numbers 14 and 89, then this is a tire with a winter tread pattern.
N — letter designation of the permissible maximum speed.
The speed designation letter is located at the end of the tire size designation. Speed designation symbols are valid for both summer and winter tires.
