325 mm tyre sizes
12.80″ A 325 tyre is 325 millimetres — 12.80″ — across its widest point, mounted and inflated. Section width, not tread width: the bulge of the sidewall counts.
It appears in 74 sizes here, and what changes between them is the sidewall: same width, different aspect ratio, different rim, different overall height.

How the figures are derived
- Read the size as the specification it is: section width in millimetres, aspect ratio as a percentage of that width, rim diameter in inches.
- Sidewall height = width × aspect ÷ 100. This is the number the size string is really about, and it is the one nobody quotes.
- Overall diameter = rim × 25.4 + two sidewalls — one at the top of the wheel and one at the bottom.
- Circumference = π × overall diameter, which gives revolutions per kilometre and per mile directly.
- Nothing above is measured, estimated, averaged or dated. It is the definition of the designation, so it does not go stale and it has no source to cite beyond the standard itself.
sidewall (mm) = width × aspect ÷ 100 overall diameter (mm) = rim × 25.4 + 2 × sidewall speedo true speed = indicated × (new diameter ÷ old diameter)

About 325 mm tyres
How wide is a 325 tyre in inches?
12.80″. The 325 is the section width in millimetres, measured at the widest point of the mounted, inflated tyre — which includes the sidewall bulge and is not the same as the tread width.
What sizes come in 325 width?
74 of them across rims from 13 to 22 inches, ranging from 544 mm to 858 mm in overall diameter.
