Size marking on the sidewall of a tyre in the ISO metric system. It has an optional class prefix (P for passenger cars, LT for light trucks), the section width in millimetres, a slash, the aspect ratio in percent, the construction letter (R radial, B bias belt, D diagonal) and the rim diameter in inches. The load index and the speed symbol may follow after a space. Inch-based light truck sizes such as 37X12.5R17LT are not covered.
