History of 10.50-16 tyres

[Lang]

This seems to sum it up for truck tyres.

Tube type tyres, whether radial or bias have a height close to width (98%) What I found with my two measured examples above.

Tubeless radial tyres unless profile specified have an 88% height.

Aspect Ratios
Truck tires sizes starting in 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are standard profile tubeless with the tire body width in inches. Standard profile tires have an aspect ratio of 88 percent. The height of the tire from rim to tread will be 88 percent of the width. An 11R22.5 tire will be approximately 11 inches wide and 9.5 inches high. Low profile tires show the width in millimeters and the aspect ratio. A 275/80R22.5 tire is 275 millimeters wide 220 millimeters high. Typical low aspect truck tire ratios are 70 percent, 75 percent and 80 percent. Tube-type tires are given widths as 9.00, 10.00 or 11.00, as in 1000R20, pronounced "ten hundred R twenty." Tires requiring inner tubes have an aspect ratio of 98 percent.
