The abbreviation “MOE” tells us this is a Mercedes original equipment tire with runflat properties (E = extended mobility). “SSR” indicates that this is a “SelfSupportingRunflat” tire. Then comes the letter “H” which is the speed index, where “H” signals a maximum speed of 210 km/h. The figure “18” indicates the wheel rim diameter in inches, while “95” is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tire can bear 95 equates to 650 kg. Next up is an “R”, which means “radial” – today, radial tires have almost completely replaced the cross-ply tires that were the standard design until the 1980s. The “45” that follows is the aspect ratio - the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of its width. The number “225” stands for the width of the tire in millimeters – so in this case the tire is 22.5 cm wide.
