what is the tire code for 35inch tire with a 10inch width R16? example 245/70 R16
It would have an R35 instead of R16. The 70,refers to the percent of the tire which is sidewall, and that determines the overall diameter.
Well, a 35x12.50-16 is a 315/75R-16, and that's not a tire code that's just the metric rating. 315section width in millimeters (the widest part of the tire, not necessarily the tread width) 75aspect ratio, or the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the section width Rdenotes radial construction 16wheel diameter in inches. To convert mm to inches, divide by 25.4. So, a 10 wide tire will be roughly 255mm wide. A 35 tall tire will need sidewalls that are (35-16)/2 tall, or 19/2 or 9.5 9.5 is roughly 245mm, which is about 90% of the section width. So, if you translated it directly into metric readings, it would be a 255/90-16. Realistically, if you see a tire labeled 35x12.50-15, that's how it's marked on the sidewall. These are actually measured a little bit differently. 35overall diameter 12.50tread width 15wheel diameter. Generally speaking, tread width is about 90% of the section width. So, if the tread width is 10.0 inches, that's 90% of the section width. So, a 35x10-16 tire would actually be about 275mm width (255x.125.5, 255+25.5280.5) but they don't use even numbers, just ##5, so it's either a 275 or 285. Then, 245/285 is about .8. All that means a 285/80-16 would be roughly a 35x10.50-16 tire.
