What Does 265/65R18 Actually Mean?

Let's break it down simply: The 265 means this tire has a tread width of 265 millimeters. The 65 is the aspect ratio, which means the sidewall height is 65% of that width. The "R" stands for Radial construction (the modern standard for safety and durability), and finally, the 18 indicates that this tire perfectly fits a 18-inch wheel.
