215/45 R15 Numbers Explained

215/45 R15 is a fitment for lighter performance cars on aftermarket wheels. Understanding the numbers is easy. 215 is the width of the tyre in millimetres. 45 is the percentage of the width that the height of the tyre sidewall is, in this case, 97mm. R15 indicates a radially constructed tyre of 15-inch diameter on the rim, with an overall diameter of 574mm. With 97mm of sidewall height there is less sidewall to absorb the roughness of a bad road compared to a tyre with a higher sidewall height. We have a stock of 215/45 R15 tyres at Tyres.co.uk.
