Tyre Raja

Tyre Technical Information

Federal law requires tyre manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tyres. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tyre and also provides a tyre identification number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
P: Vehicle Type
The "P" indicates the tyre is for passenger vehicles.

LT: Vehicle Type
The "LT" indicates the tyre is for light truck vehicles.

215: Tyre Width
This three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tyre from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tyre.

65: Aspect Ratio
This two-digit number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tyre's ratio of height to width in percentage. Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a smaller sidewall for improved steering response and better overall handling on dry pavement.

R: Radial Ply Construction
The "R" stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tyres has been the industry standard for the past 20 years.

15: Rim Diameter
This two-digit number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tyres to match the new wheel diameter.

95H: Load Index
This two or three-digit number is the tyre's load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tyre can support.
