So mine looks like it should your probably looks more like the tires on my dad tacoma he has 215/55/r14 or something like that taller and skinnyer
ok 225/50 R16

225 is your width yes , its 225 mm wide 50 is your sidewall height (50 % of 225 mm) R stands for radial construction and 16 is your rim diameter .

then there's a lot of smaller letter explaining your load index rating speed and construction date ext ext.
