In the tyre size 205/55 R16, what construction does the letter R indicate?

Correct answer

Radial tyres.

It indicates radial construction. The letter before the rim diameter identifies construction: R means radial. It does not itself specify the season of use, tubeless design or a universal number of casing plies.
