Tire Size Decoder & Dimensions Calculator
Decode markings like 225/50R17 98V XL, explain load and speed ratings, and calculate theoretical unloaded tire dimensions.
Open tire size decoder
Consumer tire reference tools with clear calculations and plain-English limitations.
Treadsley consumer tools are free tire calculators and reference tools for personal, non-commercial, informational, and educational use.
These tools help users understand tire sizing, tread depth, pressure, distance, measurement averages, wear-rate estimates, and related tire concepts. They do not determine safety, legality, roadworthiness, or commercial testing results.
On mobile, this page also acts as the main tools directory because the top navigation intentionally stays simple.

Open learning guidesDecode one tire size first, then compare two sizes when you want to understand theoretical dimensional changes.
Measure tread depth consistently, average multiple readings when appropriate, then use wear tools as reference-only calculations.
Use DOT, UTQG, size, load, and speed-rating education to understand what sidewall markings can and cannot tell you.
