However, the three numbers on a tyre size indicate its width (the first number), aspect ratio (the second number), and rim diameter (the third number). For example, in size "205/55R16," 205 represents the tire's width in millimeters, 55 represents the tire's sidewall height as a percentage of its width, and 16 is the diameter of the rim in inches.

How can I improve my tyre’s lifespan?

You can improve the lifespan of your tyres by avoiding harsh driving. First, maintain the recommended tyre pressure, as underinflated or overinflated tires can wear out faster. Regularly rotating your tyres ensures even wear across all four, extending their lifespan. Additionally, adopting smooth and cautious driving habits, such as avoiding sudden stops and sharp turns, helps reduce tire wear. Regularly check your vehicle's suspension and alignment. An improper alignment can lead to uneven tire wear. Lastly, invest in high-quality tyres. Avoid overloading your vehicle beyond its capacity. It can contribute to longer-lasting and safer tire performance.
