What 175/50 R13 means
- 175: the tyre is 175 mm wide, measured across the sidewalls.
- 50: the sidewall height is 50% of the width, so 175 × 50% = 87.5 mm.
- R: radial construction. A ZR in the same place is the same size with a speed marking for over 240 km/h.
- 13: it fits a 13-inch wheel. Overall diameter is 13 × 25.4 mm plus two sidewalls: 505.2 mm.
The load index and speed rating follow the size on the sidewall (for example 91V). Replace like for like or higher, as your handbook states.
