How to Understand Your Current Tire Size

Knowing your Jeep's tire size can be essential information when it comes time to replace that rubber, or even if you ever decide to change wheels. And while a stock tire size is imprinted right inside the driver side B pillar, you may not know what if have if you are not the original owner.

So here is some helpful information to assist you in determining what you currently have on the vehicle.

First, the sidewall of your tire contains all the information needed to understand everything about that specific tire. All tires are required to have this information, regardless of the manufacturer brand name.

Now, this information could read in a few different ways. For example, it could simply say 35x12.5 R17, or it may show as P265 75 R15. If it is the first listing, then here is the breakdown. That first number is your tire size at 35", and then the second number tells you the tire width at 12. 5". That third reading is the tire type as radial and diameter as 17".

The second listing is a metric set up, and is what is more common on factory-type sized tires. From left to right, the P indicates a passenger tire while 265 indicates the tires width in millimeters. That 75 is the tire's aspect ratio and simply means the tire's height is equal to 75 percent of its width. Finally, like the first set of numbers, that R15 means it is a radial tire and has a 15" diameter.

For those who have the metric reading on their tires, you can simply plug that into the conversion calculator to determine the tire size, or find that corresponding reading on one of the below conversion charts.

Metric measurement example: 225/70R15

225 = Section width in millimeters

70 = Aspect ratio (ratio of section height to section width)

R15 = Rim diameter

R = Radial Construction, B = Bias Construction, D = Bias Belted Construction


Calculations for Measurements

Tire Width: Section width divided by 25.4 (Ex: 225 / 25.4 = 8.86")

Section Height: Tire width times aspect ratio (Ex: 8. 86" x 70% = 6.20")

Overall Diameter: Section height times 2 plus rim diameter (Ex: (6.20" x 2) + 15 = 27.40")

Tire Calculator inches

American and European tires are distinguished by their markings. European tires have a metric marking system. Therefore, when replacing tires, the problem of translating tire parameters may arise. In most cases, this is the conversion of inches to centimeters. Enter the size in inches and click calculate. You will see the tire size in meters (dimensions will be rounded to European parameters).

When you enter the old inch parameters and new European ones, you can see how the external parameters of the tire and ground clearance will change, as well as differences in the speedometer readings.

Metric to Inch Tire Size Conversion (US)

Thanks to the Tire Calculator, you can do the reverse calculation - convert "cm" and "mm" to inches. To do this, enter the size, diameter, width and height of the tire profile and click the "calculate" button. The calculator will convert the values ​​to inches.

Attention! This R-metric calculator is used to convert European tire size to US tire size. But you can also use it to convert a tire from "inch" style to R-metric. Some dimensions may not be translated correctly (For example, the metric tire dimensions are 33x12.50x15 when converted to R-metric 318/72 R15, but if you translate the dimensions back, you will see 33x12.52x15). This may be due to minor rounding errors. nine0003
