What Does 315/45R22 Actually Mean?

Let's break it down simply: The 315 means this tire has a tread width of 315 millimeters. The 45 is the aspect ratio, which means the sidewall height is 45% of that width. The "R" stands for Radial construction (the modern standard for safety and durability), and finally, the 22 indicates that this tire perfectly fits a 22-inch wheel.
