What size tire is this?

This is a picture of a racing tire and I'm trying to figure out what size it is. I can see the first # is 24 and the last # is 16, but can you tell what the middle # is? 35? 55? I'm guessing that the 24 is the overall diameter and the 16 is the rim diameter and the middle # is the footprint? Is that right?

Just a guess.....could it be 245/35-16? If it really were a 35 series 16 inch tire that was 24 inches in diameter, it would have to have a 290mm width!

I am pretty sure that 155GTAs had 18 inch wheels, not 16.

I suspect it's 24/65/18

Here's the Michelin website that goes with those tires
