May 9, 2018 · Latest Uniroyal RainExpert 3 Reviews. Given miles. I drive a Seicento Sporting but due to lack of good tyres in 165/55r13, I have chosen to go to 155/65r13 which is a dimension with more and better choices. Uniroyals Rain Expert 3 were chosen based on their wet handling and small price difference compared to budget tyres.

The 2nd number 55 is used to calculate the sidewall height or "aspect ratio", by percentage. So, the sidewall height of a 195/55 R 16 tire is 60% of 195 = 192. The 3rd number 16 (generally preceded by an "R") is Rim Diameter in inches. This is the diameter of the rims bead seat base, not the diameter of the outer rim edge.
