The inner width of the rim on which the tire is mounted should be about 65% of the tire's nominal section width for tires smaller than 30 mm and 55% for those larger. The section height of a tire is usually identical to its section width (for tires less than 28 mm, 2.5 mm have to be added to the width to get the height).
195 – the nominal width of the tire is approximately 195 mm at the widest point; 55 – indicates that the height of the sidewall of the tire is 55% of the width (107 mm) R – this is a radial tire; 16 – this tire fits 16 in (410 mm) rims; 85 – the load index, a maximum of 515 kg (1,135 lb) per tire in this case
Modern road tires have several measurements associated with their size as specified by tire codes like 225/70R14.
