What Does 305/70R16 Actually Mean?

Let's break it down simply: The 305 means this tire has a tread width of 305 millimeters. The 70 is the aspect ratio, which means the sidewall height is 70% of that width. The "R" stands for Radial construction (the modern standard for safety and durability), and finally, the 16 indicates that this tire perfectly fits a 16-inch wheel.
