TIRE SIZE CALCULATOR

This tool can be used to quickly find the height in inches of a metric sized tire.

USING THE TOOL

To use the tire size calculator, just enter the three values from the metric tire size in the boxes in the top row of the tool. The tire height in inches will appear in the Tire Height box.

For example, a metric size of 225/70R16 would be entered as shown below:

HOW METRIC SIZING WORKS

Metric tire sizes are written in the format:

<width in mm>/<sidewall height as a percentage of width> R<rim diameter>

For example tire whose size is given as 225/70R16 has:

a width of 225 mm
sidewalls that are 157.5 mm (70% of 225 mm) high
a 16 inch rim diameter
