What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?

The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type and size of your tire. A P for passengers is common, although LT for light trucks also exists.

Next, you'll see an R for radial, the construction used to make the tire. Next is the rim size in inches. After that is the load rating; the larger the number (up to 125), the more load the tires can take. Finally, the speed rating is T, which is most common with a speed rating of up to 130 mph.
