1. The first letter means the type of tyre for certain vehicles
P = Passenger vehicles tyre. The "P" letter at the beginning indicates that the
tyre is a P-Metric tire. It refers to the tires made with some certain standards,
intended for the passenger vehicles. If a tire has no letters at the beginning, it is
sure a Euro-metric tire. P-Metric and Euro-Metric tires may have different load
capacities.
T = Truck vehicles tyre/ LT = Light truck vehicles tyre. Many vehicle
manufacturers equip for some light trucks with "LT" type tyres. These tyres
basically require a higher inflation pressure than passenger tire.

2. The 3 digit number (185) is the Width

This number refers to the width in millimetres. The measurement distance in
millimetres is from the maximum width of the tyre’s midpoint of its sidewall to
the same point on the opposite sidewall.

3. The 2 digit number (75) is the Aspect Ratio

It is the ratio of the height of the tyre’s cross-section expressed as a percentage
of the tyre’s section width. The number 75 means that the height is equal to
75% of the width of the tyre which is 75% x 185 = 138.75mm.
Width height rim diameter car tyre
These are the width, height, rim diameter of the tyre

4. The letter (R) stands for Radial in the Construction Code

This means the layers run radially across the tyre. R indicates that the tyre is
manufactured with a radial ply construction.
The number (14) is Wheel Diameter as known as rim diameter.
This number presents the size of the wheel which measured from one end to
the other. It implies the size of the wheel (or rim) to know exactly which type is
intended to fit on.
The next number (82) is the Load Index.
 Load Index indicates the maximum load that the tyre can support when it is
inflated properly. The maximum load on the tyre sidewall would be found out on
the tyre sidewall in both LBS pounds and KG kilograms.

5. The last code which is the letter (S) identifies the Speed Rating
The speed rating is in charge of showing the maximum speed capability of a
tyre. A tyre with an S speed rating has a maximum speed capability of 180
kmph.

There are also other letters which identify the speed rating.
M = 130 kmph
N =140 kmph = Spare Tyres
P = 150 kmph
Q = 160 kmph = Winter Tyres
R = 170 kmph = Truck Tyres
S = 180 kmph = Cars and Minivans
T = 190 kmph = Cars and Minivans
U = 200 kmph = Sport Performance Cars
V = 240 kmph = High Performance Cars
W = 270 kmph = Ultra High-Performance Cars
Y = 300 kmph = Ultra High-Performance Cars
