This specification refers to a particular type of tire available for purchase at a major retail corporation. The alphanumeric code designates precise measurements and construction details. ‘285’ indicates the tire’s section width in millimeters, ’75’ represents the aspect ratio (the sidewall height as a percentage of the section width), ‘R’ signifies radial tire construction, and ’16’ denotes the wheel diameter in inches for which the tire is designed. Such tires are generally intended for trucks and SUVs.
Tires matching these specifications offer a blend of load-carrying capacity and potential for off-road performance, suitable for vehicles requiring enhanced durability and traction. These tires, when sold at a retail chain known for competitive pricing, can represent a cost-effective option for consumers seeking to outfit their vehicles with dependable replacement tires. Historically, this size has grown in popularity alongside the increasing prevalence of larger trucks and SUVs on roadways.
