What is a normal tyre size?
This is the reason why we always recommend physically checking the numbers on the tyres to confirm the size. The most common tyre size in the uk is 205 55r16. These numbers show the width of the tyre is 205 mm, the profile 55% of that width and the rim (or wheel size) 16 inch. This number refers to the section width of the tire, measured in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall; thus, a 255 tire is 10mm wider than a 245 tire. This is the aspect ratio; the sidewall height of the tire as a percentage of its width.A 225/40R18 tyre has a 40% aspect ratio, which is considered low profile but not extreme – common UK alternatives include 50% and 55% ratio tyres for models like the BMW 3 Series or VW Golf.R18 92y the next pair of numbers give the measurement for the height of the tyre as a percentage of the tyre width. In this case, the aspect ratio is 40 which means that the height of the tyre is 40% of the tyre width.The differences in the aspect ratios, 50% for 225/50R18 and 40% for 225/40R18, indicate a taller sidewall. This increased difference would change speedometer readings, clearances, and even the tire’s handling characteristics.
Which tyre is good, MRF or CEAT?
CEAT tyres are great for comfort and cost-effectiveness, while MRF tyres excel in durability and extreme performance. For those looking for a tyre that will last longer in rough conditions, MRF is the superior choice. City Roads: CEAT tyres are designed for smooth handling and fuel efficiency in urban environments. Highways: Both brands perform well, but CEAT provides better ride comfort, while MRF excels in high-speed stability. Off-Roading: MRF is the clear winner due to its tough tread patterns and durability on rough surfaces.
