About Tire SizeTire size is an expression that defines a particular tire in terms of its width, height, rim diameter, aspect ratio and construction type. Staggered Sizing: Different size tires in the rear - Some vehicles come with different size tires on the front and rear of the vehicle; this is called staggered sizing. Please check your owner's manual to verify whether you need tires with different sizes. Section Width - The linear distance between the outside of the sidewalls of an inflated tire without any load on it (this does not include any sidewall decorations). Aspect Ratio - This is also known as the Section Height. This is figured as a percentage of the section width. A tire size of 215/60R16 would have a section width of 215 millimeters and a section height of 60 percent of 215 millimeters.
