Best Answer

Lets take this example. P205/50-15

The P stands for passenger car, C for commercial vehicle, LT for light truck, ST for trailers, T for temporary spare.

The first number in the series should has 3 digits. These indicate the tire's widest point, measured in millimeters. The second number, following the slash, has 2 digits and indicates the tire's height from rim to the edge. This is measured by the percentage of the width. So this tire measures 205millimeters wide and 102.5 millimeters high which is 50 percent of the width.
