175/75R14

Let's break this down a bit, shall we?

175 = The tire tread. This is how much tire is in contact with the road, and in this case it is 175 mm.

75 = The "Profile" of the tire. As you know a profile in any case is a side view. So when looking at the tire from the side you would measure the amount of rubber that you see. 75 mm.

R = Radial

14 = Diameter of the entire tire from the side.

No more false claims please?
