MICHELIN 195/50/R16

The Michelin 195/50/R16 refers to a specific type of tire manufactured by Michelin, a well-known tire brand. The numbers and letters represent the tire's size and specifications:

1. 195: This is the tire's width in millimeters. The tire is 195 millimeters wide from sidewall to sidewall.

2. 50: This is the aspect ratio, which indicates the height of the tire's sidewall as a percentage of the tire's width. In this case, the sidewall height is 50% of the tire's width (195 mm), so approximately 97.5 mm.

3. R: This indicates that the tire has a radial construction, which is the most common type for passenger vehicles. Radial tires have cord plies arranged at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, providing a smoother ride and better fuel efficiency.

4. 16: This number refers to the diameter of the wheel (or rim) that the tire is designed to fit, measured in inches. In this case, the tire is meant for a 16-inch wheel.
