A 315/75R-16 has a 315mm section width (measured across the fattest part of the sidewall, when the tire is installed on a "measuring rim" and inflated to the recommended pressure but no vertical load).

The "75" refers to the aspect ratio, which means that the sidewall is 75 percent as tall as the section width.

For instance, if the section width is 100mm, and the aspect ratio is 60, the distance from the tread to the wheel is (mathematically) 60mm. Mathematically speaking, the tire you asked about would have a 236.25mm sidewall height.

The "R" means the tire's carcass is of radial construction (as opposed to bias-ply or bias-belt).

The "16" refers to the wheel's "rim diameter" in inches.

It is important to remember that the tire's manufacturer will have a range of acceptable wheel widths that may be used with a particular tire.

Using a wheel that is wider than the "measuring rim" results in increased section width (it doesn't change the tire's size, but does change the physical dimensions of the installed tire).

Similarly, using a wheel narrower than the "measuring rim" results in decreased section width.

A 315/75R-16 is a pretty large (by passenger car standards) tire. Doing the math, it has a section width of roughly 12.4 inches and is approximately 34.6 inches tall.

Note that there is often considerable variation between the mathematical interpretation of tire size and the actual measurements of tires "as produced."

In other words, if all you have to work from is the nominal tire size, you can't rely for accuracy on the calculated measurements.

For best fitment, measurements must be obtained from the manufacturer or by physically measuring an actual tire.

Actually your tire size reads like this: P245/70R16 106S. All of it is important. P = Passenger Metric which means the tire conforms to Passenger Metric (American and Asian) tire load and inflation standards. 245 is the Section Width of the tire in milimeters measured from shoulder to shoulder. It is NOT the width of the tread. 70 is the Section Height or how tall the tire is measured from the bead (rim) to the tread expressed as a percentage of the Section Width. 70% of 245mm. R means the tire is of Radial construction 16 is the wheel diameter the tire is mounted on measured in inches 106 is the tires Load Index which indicates how much weight it can support at specific inflation pressures S is the tires Speed Rating indicating how fast it is rated to travel under specific test conditions

It's a 315x75 r16. Check tirerack.com to see it.

well I think your looking for this. It's basically a 35" diameter tire. Fits under most lifted trucks with 6" lift kits
with a 4" lift kit you would probably need some fender trimming or a body lift
