How to Read Your Car Tyre Size in Dubai - FixMyTyre Dubai

The tyre size printed on your sidewall contains useful information about width, aspect ratio, construction and wheel diameter. Understanding it helps you communicate the correct specification when arranging tyre replacement or mobile fitting in Dubai.

Quick answer

In this example, 225 is the nominal tyre width in millimetres, 45 is the aspect ratio, R indicates radial construction, 18 is the wheel diameter in inches, 95 is the load index and Y is the speed rating.

Where to confirm the correct size

Check the vehicle placard, owner handbook or the existing tyre. The vehicle specification should take priority over simply copying a tyre from another vehicle or assuming a different size will fit.

Why load and speed ratings matter

Two tyres can share the same basic dimensions but have different load or speed ratings. The replacement should meet the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements.

What to send when booking mobile tyre fitting

Send the tyre-size marking if readable, vehicle make and model, model year when known, number of tyres required and your exact location. A clear photo of the sidewall can help reduce mistakes.

When to call for mobile tyre help

If a tyre is flat, losing air repeatedly, visibly damaged or unsafe to drive on, stop in a safe place and arrange a professional inspection. FixMyTyre provides mobile tyre repair, puncture repair, tyre replacement and mobile tyre fitting across Dubai.
