Frequently Asked Questions
This is the tire size information. 205 is the tire width in millimeters. The 45 represents the aspect ratio, a percentage of the tread width that equals the sidewall height. Moreover, "R" stands for the radial construction type, and 16, indicates the diameter in inches.
Occasionally check the tread depth with a tread-depth gauge. At 2/32 of an inch in tire tread depth or less, it's time to change the tires due to safety concerns. Look at the tires for unequal wear, hacking up, protrusions or other damages. These are signs of alignment, suspension or tire damage that may need to be replaced.
