What This Size Means
215 = tread width in millimetres. 75 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 75% of the tread width (161 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 15 = wheel rim diameter in inches (381 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The Mahindra Bolero is the undisputed workhorse of semi-urban and rural India, celebrated for its indestructible metal bumpers, leaf-sprung rear axle, and high-ground-clearance ladder chassis. Its factory 215/75 R15 tyre size features a towering 161mm sidewall, affording exceptional shock absorption over craters, unpaved tracks, and irrigation bunds without wheel damage. Because the Bolero frequently carries 7 to 9 occupants plus agricultural or commercial cargo over severe terrain, tyre load rating and sidewall ply strength are far more critical than high-speed cornering grip. Mahindra specifies 32 psi at the front and 36 psi at the rear under load; running inadequate rear pressure causes the rear leaf springs to bottom out while flexing the tyre sidewalls dangerously close to stone pinch cuts. Commercial operators and rural owners almost universally favor rugged Indian all-terrain compounds such as MRF Wanderer A/T or JK Ranger A/T for their cut-resistant tread compounds and remarkable 70,000 km durability under harsh rural conditions.
