Reading golf cart tire sizes can be confusing and cause problems for golf cart owners, but it’s actually not that bad. We’ll break it down here for you to review:

Example #1: Low Profile Tire - 205/65-10

205: This is the width of the golf cart tire across the treads (in millimeters). 205 millimeters is about 8 inches.

65: The ratio of the sidewall to the width (divide the first number, 205 by this number to get the ratio. The bigger the ratio, the bigger the tire). 

10: The tire size to match wheel size (in inches)

Example #2: All Terrain Tire - 22x11-8 (much easier and no ratios!)

22: This is the height of the tire (in inches)

11: This is the width of the tire across the treads (in inches)

8: This is the wheel size the tire should be mounted on (in inches)
