Swedish term or phrase: bultcirkel
In this context the term has to do with auto tire or rim sizes. The bultcirkel designations are expressed on a scale from 4/100 to 6/139,7. However the tire size designations I am finding from the US and UK do not use this format, so I have doubts as to whether "tire size" would be an adequate translation.
