Tyre markings assist in selecting the suitable tyre. The width number indicates tyre width, while the aspect ratio reveals sidewall height in relation to width. Load and speed ratings provide information about the tyre's weight-bearing capacity and maximum speed capability. Construction type and wheel diameter are represented by alphanumeric codes. The tyre also displays the brand name, range, and specifies if it is 'tubeless' or 'tube type'. Additionally, tyre pressure limits, date codes, wear indicators, and a symbol for winter conditions are present on the tyres. Any OE markings indicate that the tyre was specifically manufactured for a particular car model.
