Frequently Asked Questions
The tire size is approximately the tire's 33 length by 11.2 width. Specifically, the 285 represents the tire’s width in millimeters, and the 75 is the aspect ratio as a percentage of the tire width. The R16, on the other hand, represents inches, meaning the tire can fit a 16-inch rim.
The diameter is 33 inches when mounted on a 16-inch rim. However, the true size may differ somewhat based on the model, load rating, and pressure.
Although it is quite a specific option, a few closely matching sizes are available. For example, the 285/70R17 or the 275/70R18 have similar dimensions of width and diameter. They are close enough to be considered substitutes for this size.
Since the tire name indicates it, this size can be installed on the 16-inch rim size. Furthermore, it is also possible to put such a tire on the 17-inch or 15-inch rims, depending on the tire model or your vehicle's requirements.
