Which quantity does the number 55 represent in 205/55 R16?

  • A.The tread depth
  • B.The number of plies within the carcass of the tyre, which determines the load that it is able to carry safely
  • C.The section height as a percentage of the section width
  • D.The section width as a percentage of the rim diameter, expressed in the mixed units used by the marking system

Answer: C

Aspect ratio is the section height divided by the section width, so this tyre is 112.75 millimetres tall in the sidewall. A lower number means a shorter, stiffer sidewall. It is not related to the rim diameter. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
