What does 315/30 R22 mean?The tyre size that you find on the sidewall of a tyre will tell you important information such as the width, profile and diameter of your tyre. In this case, for the tyre size 315/30 R22, this means the following: 315 - the width of the tyre in millimetres. I.e. 315mm wide. 30 - the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width. In this case 30% R22 - the diameter of the tyre's inner rim in inches. Basically what size of wheel this is designed to fit onto. In this instance it is a 22 inch wheel.
If you are looking for the recommended tyre pressure for 315/30 R22 tyres, you will find that this will depend on the manufacturer and model. Each vehicle manufacturer has their own tyre pressure recommendation for their model, that will deliver an optimal performance for your vehicle. Check the following if you are unsure what the correct tyre pressure is for your 315/30 R22 tyres Tyre label - this is often the best place to find your tyre pressure information.

The sidewall height of a 315/30 R22 tyre is calculated by using the profile information of the tyre size. In this instance 30. This tells us that it is 30% of the tyre's cross-section width. When looking at a tyre, the sidewall height is the distance between the tread line of the tyre and the rim line. Given that this tyre size has a cross-section width which equals 315mm, we can work out that the sidewall height is 30% of 315 – this comes to 94.5mm.
Yes, tyre sizes need to be exact. Tyres are an integral part of a vehicle and so require that they are produced to exact standards. As well as being the only part of a vehicle that is in contact with the road, many components of a vehicle rely on tyres. The speedometer requires the tyres to be precise so that it is able to accurately calculate the speed at which you are travelling. If the tyres are not exact or the wrong size you will get incorrect readings. Also, the handling, braking and suspension components of a vehicle requires accurate tyres so that they can deliver an optimal performance. Should the tyre size be inexact, your vehicle would not perform well and you could also find your safety when driving is compromised.

To find out what the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends, the best thing to do is check your vehicle handbook. This should have all the information you need in regard to which tyre sizes are required for your vehicle.
