e.g 205/55R16, the first set (205 in this case) is usually the tread width in millimetres, the 2nd set (55) is the percentage of the tread width which defines the sidewall height, 3rd set (16) is the measurement for the rim size, and the R means Radial.

How do you find tire mfg date?

There are a series of numbers printed on the sidewall of the tire, just above the bead area. They will not be as uniformed or professional looking as the tire size number or printed brand of the tire. One side of the tire will have these additional numbers and the other side won't. The side with the most numbers", will tell you the manufacture date. The last 4 numbers are the date recorded as week and year. For instance if it lists 1608, then the tire was made the 16th week of 2008.
