The first bit is the width

Second is tyre wall size

Third is the inside diameter (size of rim that fits the tyre)

if you want to DRIVE then get tyres that are bit as you can notes the deferens BIG TIME! if I was you ad get summit like toyo proxies T1R and go for a 195/50/15 they are pretty shit hot bud thatâ??s what I run like they wear a bit faster than sum but will grip way more that cheap ones

you can speak about tyre compounts

a softer compound will give you more grip but will ware out quicker

a harder compound has the reverse affect.

you could also speak about tyre widths and hights,

the higher the sidewall the more comfier ride,

the lower, less flex and a more rigid footpring promoting a better stearing feel

drag radials need a high sided tyre wall with low psi, that helps with grip off the line

a bigger width of tyre might offer more grip in the dry but will lead to tram lining and also aquaplaining in the wet,

if your speaking about alloys too you can go on about the pitch circle diamiter(diameter between the studs

the offset, how far the wheels come out.

there are a few other bits and bobs,

give us a phone ifyour looking for ideas man ;)

Dude..

Your a legend!

So.. i talked about the different cornering with the flex on a normal profile tyre... i talked about a softer compound tyres giving you more outta the performance.. although wearing quicker ... etc etc.. it went really well... spoke about the profile of tyres... talked about almost everything on your list Enzo.. i had a few things on that already though.. it was like.. a joint presentation;)

Thanks very much Enzo,Idress.. Much apreciated!;))

Just to be picky but the seconed number is actually the height as a percetage of the width!!!! ie 50% of say 195mm the height would be 97mm

what really confuese me about tire dimensions is that the first number is in mm but the diameter is in inches metric and imperial god they like confusing matters!!!! ;)
