Tire size questions.
Can someone pull this apart and explain what this example means?
205/50R-17
Sorry for what may seem like a dumb question, but i'm over here getting stumped at a damn tire magazine trying to figure out what the hell all that means. The only thing I can pull out of that is the 17 which i'm pretty sure means the rim size.
Thanks,

50 is height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the section width, i.e. 50% of 205mm
17 is the rim diameter
Hope that helps. Read the wheel and tire sticky. It will answer almost all your wheel questions
