Lets talk tech!
• Lets discuss some right and wrong ways to fit rims and tires under a vehicle.
• Using math formulas you already know can improve your ability to advise your friends and family to Ric Rac your Ride!!

Solving for x
Sidewall Aspect Ratio• Typically following the three digits
identifying the tire's Section Width in millimeters is a two-digit number that identifies the tire's profile or aspect ratio.

P225/50R16 91SThe 50 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 50% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall. We know that this tire size's section width is 225mm and that its section height is 50% of 225mm.

SIDEWALL HEIGHTHigher the number = higher sidewall
Lower the number = shorter sidewall

By converting the 225mm to inches (225 / 25.4 = 8.86") and multiplying it by 50% (.50) we confirm that this tire size results in a tire section height of 4.43". If this tire were a P225/70R16 size, our calculation would confirm that the size would result in a section height of 6.20", approximately a 1.8-inch taller sidewall.

Terms to remember
![Page 13: Rim and Tires](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816728550346895ddbc55a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Aspect Ratio
![Page 14: Rim and Tires](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816728550346895ddbc55a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Aspect Ratio = (Section Height/Section Width) X 100
• P225/70 R14 • 225 Millimeters of section width• 70 is interpreted as 70 % of the width to equal
section height.

Overall Diameter= 2 x Section Height + Rim Diameter
• Note that there is top and bottom of section height that need to be added to rim size to determine the over all Diameter.

A truck tire has a p-metric tire label of:LT 265/75 R-17
Find the overall diameter
• Section width = 265 mm• Aspect ratio = 75• Section height = x • Section height =
• 198.75 mm• Rim diameter = 17 inches =
• 431.8 mm • Overall Diameter =
• 829.3 mm• 32.65 in

y = 3x + 10•Solve for x when y = 19
• 19 = 3x + 10• 9 = 3x• 3 = x
