Tire size meaning?

Lawn tractor tire size on my mower is 23 x 9.5 x 12. This may be a stupid question but what does each number mean? Is the 12 the height of the rim? Just always wondered this and never knew. :thanku:

You are correct 12 is the rim size and 9.5 is the width.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 23 the overall installed height of 23"?

23= approx diameter of the installed, INFLATED tire, at its tallest point

9.50 = approx width across the tread

12 = wheel diameter
