Codes that cannot be typed as width, profile and rim: vintage numeric, US alphanumeric, metric rim, truck, agricultural and industrial.
Metric and imperial sizes such as 225/40R18 and 31/10.5R15 go straight into the boxes above.
Truck, agricultural and industrial sizes are shown for dimensions only.
Speedometer and WOF output is hidden for them, because neither applies to a tractor or a forklift tyre.
Sizes marked bias are cross ply and are not interchangeable with a radial of the same code.

How to Read Tyre Sizes
Metric205 / 55 / R16
205mm width. Sidewall = 55% of 205mm (112.75mm). 16" rim
Imperial31 / 10.5 / R15
31" overall diameter. 10.5" width. 15" rim
No profile165 R13
Profile left off means an 82 series. Reads as 165/82R13, 600mm tall
Legacy7.00 R16
Not a width. Dimensions come from standards tables: 778mm tall, 202mm wide
Two tyres9.5 R15
One code, two tyres: the LT numeric at 825mm or the 9.5L-15 implement at 767mm. Check the sidewall

Speedometer Impact
| Your speedo reads | Actual speed (T2) | Actual speed (T3) | Actual speed (T4) |
|---|
These figures show the effect of the tyre size change alone, assuming your speedometer was
calibrated for Tyre 1. They are not what your dash will read. Under the applicable standard
(UNECE R39, mirrored by ADR 18) a speedometer must never read below true speed and may
legally read up to 10% + 4 km/h high. That allowance is one-sided, so most speedometers
already over-read before any tyre change is considered.
Dimensions only for this size. Speedometer, WOF and replacement options are hidden
because a truck, agricultural or industrial tyre is in the comparison. None of those
outputs apply: there is no WOF check for a tractor tyre, and the speedometer table assumes
a car speedometer calibrated to tyre 1. The diameter, width and sidewall figures above are
the published standard dimensions and remain valid.
Preliminary NZ WOF Size Check
Potentially Suitable Alternatives
Potentially suitable alternatives, matched on overall diameter only. Diameter is one of several things that decide whether a size is legal and safe on your vehicle.
| Size | Diameter | Sidewall | Width | Rim |
|---|
This is a size comparison, not a compliance check. Whether a tyre is legal on your
vehicle also depends on rim width, load index, speed rating, matching across an axle,
clearance under lock and compression, and whether the change needs LVV certification. Confirm
with your fitter or a certifier before committing.
Sizes shown are within +/-5% overall diameter of Tyre 1.
Rim figures are the standard measuring rim and its permitted range, and are left blank
where the sizing standard does not cover that size.
