i was checking tires for my 15" and not too familiar with sizing of tires and their numbers stand...so take it easy on me instead of bs and leave negative feedbacks

205-50-15
205(?) - 50(?) - 15(rim 15" right?)

what's each individual number stands for?

thanks all

 

205 = width of tire/tread. stock is 195

50 = sidewall higth. stock i believe is 55 for DC's

15 = yes you're correct, the rim size. and 15 is stock for DC's

 

205: this is the "tread width." 205mm. not the width at the widest part of the tire, the tread width.

50: this is the "section" or "profile." 50%. this is the distance from the bead to the tread, and is 50% of the tread width. in this case, that would be 102.5mm. this counts part of the tire that's actually inside the rim, so you may not measure a full 102.5mm (almost exactly 4") from rim to tread of the tire when the tire is installed on a rim.

15: you guessed it, "wheel size." self-exlpanatory.

overall, 205/50-15's are a great size for factory 15" wheels. enjoy!
