What Does 185/45 R17 Mean?

185/45 R17 tyres are found on Smart cars, especially the Brabus fortwo and forfour models and on Renault's Twingo GT. The digits are easy to understand. 185 means the width in mm, 45 indicates the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall is 45% of 185mm, which gives an 83mm sidewall for the front while these rear-engine cars have a wider rear tyre, and R17 refers to a 17-inch radial tyre. This brings the overall diameter to 598mm. We have 185/45 R17 at Tyres.co.uk.
