205/50/16
205 = width of the tire
50 = 50% of the width which is 158/157 (in cm. i think)
16 = the diamater of the rim aka diameter.
also note that there are letters. the letter is the speed rating in which how fast it can handle on that max speed. but i don't remember the spd rating so hope that helps.
oh yea, and this isn't buy or sell classify area. more like tech descussion.
