Tyre Sizing

Understanding The Sizing Of A Tyre

A tyre may have something similar to 16x4.8/4.0x8 embossed on the side.

16x4.8/4.0x8 breaks down to:

• 16" tyre diameter
• 4.8" tyre width 4.0" depth from the rim to the tread
• 8" rim.
• If the wheel is missing the tyre width number (e.g. 16x 4.0x8), then the width is the same as the depth (i.e. 4").
