- My van tires are - - P215/65R15 95H.

- That P means it's a passenger vehicle tire,

- 215 is tread width in millimeters,

- 65 is the aspect ratio, it's a wide oval. ( 75 means it's rounder in cross section)

- R means it's a Radial

- 15 means it fits a 15" rim.

- 95 is the 'load rating' -meaning what each tire will support.

- H is the 'speed rating' - maximum speed you should do with this tire.

What do the numbers on the side of a tire stand for?

Answer The numbers on the side of tires mean the sizes and heights of the tire in question. If the numbers weren't there no one would know the tire size. More exactly... Taking 195/75R14 as an example...The first number is the measurment in milimeters of the widest part of the tread- The second number is the height of the sidewall in relation to the first number expressed as a percentage (the height of the tire is 75% of the first number) and the last number behind the R is the rim size in inches.
