Maybe they should have a second, international press release.

Just a "10 miles (16km)" and "half as thick as U.S. dime (0.68mm)" - either directly in text or as on-hover/on-tap tooltips (for web) - would've did the trick just perfectly.

"half as thick as U.S. dime (0.68mm)" is ambiguous: is the dime that thick, or the wheel?

Or you could say something like:

...10 miles on a tire only 0.68mm thick, about half as thick as a US dime.
