What do these numbers mean?

Take 225/45R18 W 91 as an example:

225 is the tread width in millimetres.
45 is the profile: the sidewall height is 45% of the width.
R18 means a radial tyre on an 18 inch wheel.
W is the speed rating (the fastest the tyre is rated for, 168 mph here).
91 is the load index (the most weight one tyre can carry, 615 kg here).

Manufacturer standard (OE) tyre sizes for this vehicle. Always check the sizes printed on your existing tyres or the sticker inside the driver's door before buying, as fitments can vary by trim and wheel option.
