P
Passenger car tire. If there is no P before the size it would
indicate it is a European metric tire. An LT before the size would
designate a light truck tire.
205
This is the Section Width in millimeters. This measurement is taken
from sidewall to sidewall.
65
This number refers to the height of the sidewall, or the Aspect
Ratio. It is a percentage of the section width. In this example, you
would take 65 percent of 205 millimeters and this would give you the
sidewall height.
R
Radial tire construction.
15
Wheel diameter in inches.
