What does the C stand for at the end of the tire size mean?

Stephen is correct...the C is the load range on the tire. I don't know rating for C but you can google it or I would go with Stephen"s number

Michael, I believe that the C represents the load rating of the tire. Load range C is rated at 1820 pounds at 50psi (I believe). Load range D is heavier and E is the heaviest. Load range C is carries a six-ply rating so is a little more rugged than an auto tire.

Its for the rear passenger side. The (R) means right and the Driver's rear will have an (L). The front ones are a different number with a (R) or (L) indicating the side.

For three-number systems, the first number is the height, the second is the width, and the last number is the rim diameter. So for a tire that reads "20x8.0-10," the height is 20 inches, the width is 8 inches, and the rim diameter is 10 inches.

Hello.The listing information supplied by Amazon is incorrect. In this instance, the 'C' is referring to the Load Range. Load Range 'C' is a 6-ply rated tire that is capable of carrying heavier loads (2535lbs per tire @ 50psi). The actual speed rating is 'Q' which is 100MPH.Sorry for the confusion.BWT

The Width of the Tire in Metric. 700x35 Means the tire is 700mm (28. 375") Tall and 35mm (1.375") Wide. This link helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

it's 10/32nd of an inch, not 10 inches. It's a typo. But 10/32nds is common for a passenger touring tire.

9/32" usually. R compound tires come with6/32". When in doubt go to the manufacturers website for the official number. Tirerack is also a great source for information.

I believe it is the total wheel, it means rim and tire.By the way this tire is excellent,no air, no pumping. it still work very well.

I can't tell. They are measured in MM not CN. But no where on that page does it say the width size which is what you are looking for. If you are dead set on 25mm width then keep looking around. Worse case scenario is that these particular tires are 23mm which isn't bad cause the black chili compound gives you a cushier feel than normal 23's. They could be 25's also but there is no way to tell for sure unless they write the size.

Most tires have two dimensions: width and circumference. These rims accept a 700c circumference tire. These rims will accept a range of tire widths from 23mm to 32mm. The width range comes from ERTRO guidelines. The guidelines are just that, and you may be able to safely mount a tire outside of the width range implied by the width of the rim. The circumference is not negotiable. Do not mount a 27" tire on these, only 700c. Source: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html RIP

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization long ago developed a universal tire sizing system that eliminates wheel & tire size confusion. But that does not stop inventive marketing A 27x1-1/4 is a 630 mm tire used on most older 10 speed bicycles in the 1980 and before. A 700x38 is a 622 mm tire that is wide, most sports styled bicycles since 1980 use a 700x23/25 tire size. &lt;--recent marketing term 29er is for wider tires fitted to 622 rims, sometimes marked with a French Size 28 A 650c Triathlon, time trial, and small road bikes is 571 mm. A 650B tire is a French size being revived - 584 mm &lt;--using long reach brakes these are are being put on hybrids & sports style bicycles that do not offer the room for tires wider than 25, nor any room for fenders. If your old tire is labeled 27x1-1/8 or 27x1-1/4 you have a 630 rim and need that size tire, Get the 1-1/8 if you are a light weight rider, or the 1-1/4 diameter if heavier, also it has more air volume for softer ride.

John, Sorry I don't know. When I bought the 700x32c tires I was replacing my 700x28c tires.

I really don't know why one should cost more.... It turns out that a 700 C tire actually has a bead diameter of 622 millimeters. Other than that, I know of no difference.

Hello.The 'number' represents and load capacity of the tire and the 'letter' represents the speed rating. example:103 = 1929lbs per tire T = 116MPH Thanks,BWT

Sorry not sure. I bought this for my mom with the measurements of her tires. It was a while ago

Its spinning usually if there is an "s" at the end of the model number its spinning, "c" is a conventional.

I assume 58 PSI is the max printed on the tire? I notice that on the Continental website two 26 x 1 1/2 tires have 50 - 65 PSI and two have 45 - 58 PSI.
