    Tyre Codes B235/65R16C 115/113T SC328 ?

    Hello All,

    One of my vehicles has 235/65R G or C and LT written on the sides of the tyre. LT stands for Light Truck

    I just came across a company that sells tyres and it has lots of other numbers and letters surrounding the 235/65R can someone let me know what these extras mean?

    As per the subject line one tyre place is selling ....
    B235/65R16C 115/113T SC328


    Kind regards
    Lionel

    B - No idea.
    235 - Section width though the bag of the tyre in millimeters
    65 - Sidewall height as a % of the tyre width
    16 - Rim diameter in inches
    C - Load range
    115 - Tyre index rating as a single tyre
    113 - Tyre index rating as a dual tyre arrangement
    T - Speed rating
    SC328 - Manufacturer mark - Made by Rodeo in China but sold under a number of names like Goodride Westlake, Trazano etc.

    Normally that B would be a P or an LT. B is really strange.

    B probably equates to bias belt. (optional)

    the regular codes are:
    P passenger(no code equates to passenger tyre)
    LT light truck(as already said)
    ST special trailer
    T temporary(as in space savers)

    options are:
    B bias belt
    R radial
    D diagonal

    How to Read Year Codes on Tyres

    Hello All,

    Thank you for the replies it is good have background information into what I could be buying. Also, that I do not buy the incorrect tyre.

    I have seen some threads about people looking at the tyre and knowing when it was manufactured. What numbers show when a tyre was made and how are the numbers interpreted?

    Kind regards

    I see the Goodrides with SC328 are described as 'Cargo' so I'm guessing that is a commercial tyre, such as fitted to work vans?

    Some camper trailers come with Goodride LT tyres, which is not the same, but the ones on my BIL's camper trailer survived being bashed around the country for 10 months last year and look okay.

    There will be a number stamp on the side of the tyre, you will have to find which one..... but it will indicate the week and year the tyre was manufactured. Eg a tyre made this week would be something like 1720 (17th week, 2020)

    Some of the tyre codes are really interesting, in particular the UTQG codes of traction temperature and tyre wear when choosing a tyre. Because I have a bit of a tyre fetish (I know, but it could be worse!) I compare these a lot and they tell a story about the tyre and how well it will perform and wear.

    Treadwear will give you a treadwear index compared to a standard tyre put through a controlled test of 7200 miles. The control tyre was given a value of 100. If the tyre has a treadwear value of 200, it will last twice as long, or 300 3x as long. So although all drivers and vehicles wear their tyres differently, this will give you an indication of what life to expect based on your experiences with previous tyres. Also look at tread depth information.

    The traction code expresses how well the tyre will brake in wet conditions in a controlled environment Ratings are Best AA, A, B, C Worst.

    The temperature is no so exciting as the should all meet the necessary requirements.

    A really good place to compare tyres by their UTQG codes and to see all of this this information in a sortable manner is at tirerack.com
