50=profile or sidewall measurement of tire in mm
|
I'm suprised this got this far without being noticed!
The middle number -- "50" in 225/50/16 -- is the aspect ratio. It is sidewall height in percent (50% in this case) of the width measurement (which is in mm).
In this case the sidewall height is 225mm x 50% = 112.5mm.
