Hey gang,

I'm replacing my tires on my Komet "Euro Lite" circa 2000 trailer. *I
wrote down the size on the sidewall as 85/65 R14 86T.
Unfortunately, my tire guy is telling me there's no such thing as this
size and suggested it's 185/65. * However, nobody makes a trailer tire
in that size.

That's gotta be 185/65-14. That tire size breaks down so:

185 = tire width in mm; 185mm = 7.28"

65 = aspect, the section height in % of width. 185*.65 = section
height of 120mm or 4.73"

14 = rim diameter in inches. Rims are measured to the inner diameter
of the matching tire.

For the tire at hand, the outside diameter would be 2 * (185mm * .65)
+ 14" = 596mm or 23.46".

Thanks, Bob K.

Thanks Bob! That's the clearest explanation of tire number decoding
I've ever read.
