In the size code 295/30R21, 295 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.6"). 30 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 30% of the width, or roughly 88.5 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28".

The load index 102 means each tire supports up to 1,874 lbs — about 7,496 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
