Question on car tyre - maintenance?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
175 is the approximate width of the tire (from sidewall to sidewall) at its widest point. And you are right on what the 65 means.

As for the "thickness" - I don't know what you mean by that. Are you looking for the width of the tread itself? It will (obviously) be somewhat less than 175mm, how much less depends on the tire make/model. Some tires have more of a square construction that others so they will have a wider tread. If you go to tirerack.com they have all the specs including tread width if they sell your tire.

I think maybe you are talking about the thickness of the tire itself. If so, it's based on how many plies it has. e.g. a 4ply tire is thicker than a 3 ply. I' m not sure what you're looking for.

the car tyre maintenance is depend upon the car driver then driver drive carefully and don't drive ruff driving now th tyre of car safe for long time.

It depends on the tire model....treading varies as per the model...

hello,

Front Tyres 175 / 65 R15

Rear Tyres 175 / 65 R15

in the above,

i guess you were talking about the horizontal width to be of 175mm when looking at the tire from the front side of the car ...is that right

65% of 175mm makes it to 113..so i assume the height to be 113mm

what about the thickness of the tire..i guess thats why the treading matters right.please clarify
