European Tire Sizes
European Tire Sizes
(OP)
Anyone here know what the label of an 18.00 X 25 - 40PR tire translates to english units as? I'm trying to find the width of the tire when looking at the tire head on (when you can't see the rim).
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

meaning a tire widt of 225mm, a tire height (along the radius) of 55% of 225
and an 16" rim

"18" is the nominal tire width, in inches. The actual width is 20.3" with no applied load, 21.3" when loaded.
"25" is the nominal wheel diameter, in inches.
"40PR" is the equivalent tire ply rating, in this case, equal to 40 plies.
