205/100 R16 Numbers Explained

The tyre size "205/100 R16" is now an unconventional full-profile tyre size, as opposed to car-size designation like you see used today. This size is characteristic of a bygone age of utility and off-road vehicles, and like much of the nomenclature from that time, is not interpreted as a modern size. Such sizes are found stamped on older and specialist 4x4s, where the manufacturer's tyre markings will be used for reference.

Part of the sizeValueWhat it means
Section width 205 The width of the tyre across the tread, measured in millimetres.
Construction R Radial construction, which is what nearly all road tyres use.
Rim diameter 16 The wheel diameter the tyre fits, measured in inches.
This is an older full-profile marking. Sidewall and overall diameter are not quoted here, because the profile figure for this legacy size could not be confirmed. Match the marking on the tyre you are replacing.
