How to read ST195/75R14 tire size?

Reading a tire size such as can be broken down into three main parts: tread width, aspect ratio and rim diameter.

195 is the width of the tire in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall when it's fully inflated and not under any load. In this example, the tire is 195 millimeters wide.

75 represents the height of the tire's cross-section as a percentage of its width. It means the height is 75% of the tire's width.

R denotes that tire has radial construction.

14 is the diameter of the wheel that the tire fits on, measured in inches. This tire would fit on a 14-inch wheel.

How to convert ST195/75R14 to inches

The ST195/75R14 conversion is very simple. There are 25.4 millimeters in an inch. All we have to do is divide tread width and sidewall height by 25.4 to convert to inches.

To convert the tire width to inches, you divide 195 mm by 25.4, yielding a tire width of approximately 7.7 inches. To find the sidewall height in inches, you calculate 75% of the tire width in millimeters (195 mm), convert this figure to inches as before, resulting in a sidewall height of about 5.7 inches. However, to understand the tire's overall diameter, you need to consider the height of two sidewalls and the diameter of the wheel it fits. Therefore, you multiply the sidewall height by 2 and add the wheel diameter (14 inches), giving you an overall tire diameter of approximately 25.5 inches.

So, when converted to inches, ST195/75R14 tire is 7.7 inches wide, 25.5 inches tall, and fits 14-inch rims.

How wide is a ST195/75R14 tire?

Tire width, also known as section width, is a measurement in millimeters that indicates the width of a tire from one sidewall to the other. It is the first number provided in a tire's size specifications. ST195/75R14 tire has a width of 7.7 inches or 195 mm.

A greater tire width can increase the tire's contact patch with the road, potentially improving grip and handling. However, wider tires can also increase rolling resistance, which could negatively impact fuel efficiency.

Tire Width
Tread width: 7.7"

How tall is a ST195/75R14 tire?

Tire height, also known as the tire's diameter or overall diameter, is the measurement from the ground to the top of the tire. It's essentially the distance from one side of the tire to the other, passing through the center, when it's correctly inflated and not under load. ST195/75R14 tire has a diameter or height of 25.5 inches or 648 mm.

Tire Diameter
Tire height: 25.5"

ST195/75R14 Tire Sidewall Height

Tire sidewall height, also known as the tire's aspect ratio, is the measurement of the height of the tire's cross-section or the height of the tire from the rim to the tread. It is typically represented as a percentage of the tire's width. ST195/75R14 tire has a sidewall height of 5.7 inches or 146 mm.

Sidewall height (also known as tire profile) can greatly affect a tire's driving characteristics. Lower profile tires (30 or 35 series) often provide better handling but can give a harsher ride, while higher profile tires (65 or 70 series) generally provide a smoother ride but with less precise handling.

Sidewall height: 5.7"

What size rim fits a ST195/75R14 tire?

The rim diameter refers to the diameter of the wheel on which a tire is mounted. It is the distance from one edge of the rim to the opposite edge, passing through the center of the wheel. ST195/75R14 tire can be mounted on 14-inch wheels.

The rim diameter is crucial not only for fitting the tire properly but also plays a role in determining the overall performance of the vehicle, including its handling and ride quality.

Rim diameter: 14"

ST195/75R14 Tire Circumference

Tire circumference refers to the distance around the outer edge of a tire. It is the measurement of the entire circumference or perimeter of the tire when it is inflated and mounted on a wheel. ST195/75R14 tire has a circumference of 80.1 inches or 2035 mm.

Tire Circumference
Tire circumference: 80.1"

How many revolutions does a ST195/75R14 tire make?

Tire revolutions refer to the number of complete rotations a tire makes while the vehicle is in motion. It is a measure of the distance covered by the tire. ST195/75R14 tire completes 791 revolutions per mile or 491 revolutions per kilometer.

Tire revolutions are often used in various calculations related to vehicle dynamics, such as determining the distance traveled, estimating fuel consumption, or calculating the speed of the vehicle based on the rotation of the tires. Tire revolutions can also be tracked or monitored by certain vehicle systems, such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS) or the vehicle's onboard computer, for various purposes.
