P195/65R13 — what does it mean?
- P means "passenger car"
- 195 stands for tread width in millimeters
- 65 is an aspect ration between the tread width and the sidewall in percents
- R means that the tire has a radial construction
- 13 is a wheel diameter (or rim) in inches
How to convert P195 65R13 to inches?
First of all, we need to divide 195 mm (width) by 25.4 (mm to inch conversion), which will give us a width of 7.7″. Then, 65% of the 7.7″ will result in 5″ sidewall.
To get the total height or tire diameter, we need to sum the 13″ rim diameter with two of the sidewall heights. It will result in a 23″ total tire diameter (or height).
For your convenience, below is a table for P195/65R13 conversion to inches:
