What do the tyre size markings like 205/45/16 or 315/70/18 or 33x10.5x15 actually mean?
How do you calculate the overall diameter of a metric size such as 235/65/17?

Finally something simple. Everyone else is pimping their business making the video 18 minutes to do what you did in 7min.
good video. God bless america
GREAT STUFF. VERY WELL EXPLAINED. GREAT GRAPHICS AS WELL. CLEAR AS A WHISTLE. THANKS!
Glad you enjoyed it!
fantastic Robert easy and so visual
SUPURB, EXCELLENT.
Extremely Well explained.
'2 Easy'.
Thank you. Learned something new.
What was it?
Thanks for the explanation!
Great explanation and helpful website. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Please share :-)
really nice explained, thank you!
Thanks please share 👍
Great explanation, thanks!
At 3:15 you say the last number refers to the size of the WHEEL in inches, obviously you mean the size of the RIM in inches.
But that is nitpicking :D
Keep it up! ;)
Thanks for the very informative video, it really helps me a lot. 👍🙏
Glad it was helpful! please share!
EXCELLENT THANKS ###
Good explanation, I also used your imperial to metric converter, works well.
Glad it helped
@@L2SFBC For what it's worth, the explanations in the body of your calculator were interesting, also the correct closest metric tyre to my 37/13.5/17 tyre was also on the money. Did you do this yourself, or have you borrowed it from somewhere?
I wrote it all myself :-)
I never take the work of others!
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Okay yeah thank you ✅
I notice though because nothing is straight forward with tyres that the rim diameter (17 inch) is not really the rim diameter. It's the tyre diameter at the inside lip or edge of the rubber before it is mounted on the rim. The rim size is measuring the diameter of the rim at the part where the tyre lip seats on the rim which you'd need calipers to measure or an engineering diagram of the rim. Placing a tape measure across your rim while it has a tyre on it and mounted to the car gives confusing results. Also a discussion on tyre age and how to read it on the print would be good.

Hi mate, I have changed tyre and rims to my isuzu Dmax 2013 ( 215/55 r15 to 255/60r18. Since I changed tyre rear break started making noise when I put on a break. I checked brake pads etc they all in good order. Noise only from rear. This vehicle has shoe drums system in rear wheel. What do you think these causing issue? Any advice
Can't imagine it's tyre related, best take to a brake specialist
but can you please explain this 13-400x6 tyre ( I am looking at making a Glider GOAT 4 actually and the tyre reccomended is that)
So its a Ultralight Glider
I hate when ppl say rim instead of wheel when they are talking about the wheel. The wheel is the metal unit that attaches the wheel hub to a car via an axle, while rims are the outermost part of the wheel assembly, so you were right the first time and did not need to (in)correct yourself. Tires are tires, not apart of the wheel. Together it is a "wheel and tire". There is no one word for the entire assembly.
I agree, but need to balance popular parlance with technical accuracy, particularly when no word exists.

What would the LT truck tires convert to 275/50/20
Okay yeah
That 4x4 tyre is only 185 ish on the tread size
Why is "tire" spelt "tyre" in your video?
just thought it would add some colour
Tyre is the correct way to spell tyre.
Perhaps you noticed his accent... ? "Tire" is the American spelling.
160 r13? then there is another number away from this "R670" a japanese import JDM
Brilliant explanation of a fucking stupid system.
Thanks Mr Beaver, please share :-)
I am amazed tyres mix units. These days I only measure my willy in inches, when I tell the ladies my size they all assume I am talking centermeters.
Those aren't ladies, a true lady wouldn't assume units nor dimensions :-)
I'm amazed we still use imperial for any measurement. i wish tyres and rims were just all metric already, hopefully in the near future imperial will be completely fazed out.
