The 65% aspect ratio (as in 235/65/17), compared to 60%, adds almost 12 mm (1/2″) to the radius of the tire (0.65-0.60)*(235mm)=11.75mm.
similarly, Are 65 tires wider than 70?
The main thing is that the 70 is a little taller than the 65, width is the same.
on the other hand, Which tire is wider 50 or 60?
The second number on a tire size refers to the aspect ratio: This is the ratio of its section height to its section width. The smaller the number, the shorter the sidewall and the wider the tire. In other words, a 50 series tire is shorter and wider than a 60, even though they both might be 275’s or whatever.
also, Are 60 tires wider than 70? Generally speaking, a 215-60 series tire is wider and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.
Can I put 55 tires instead of 60?
Yes…the wheel/tire combo has an overall diameter/circumference that should be maintained with 3% (+/-) the original spec. When you plus size wheels…the aspect ratio (height of the tire) decreases to compensate…and maintain the orig diameter/circumference.
Can I use 75 tires instead of 70?
I think the 75 series tire is roughly 1″ taller than the 70 series…. so 1/2″ more sidewall… not a lot of difference. The 75 definately “looks” better and might even get ya better mileage as you’re not turning as fast….
Which tire is wider 245 or 265?
265mm is 20mm wider than the 245mm. Even if you could – you will have to replace them all with the 265 – and then you don’t know if the wider tyres will hit the bodywork of you car.
What does 65 R mean on tires?
Aspect Ratio: 215/65 R15
“65” in the sequence is the aspect ratio of the tire. The aspect ratio is a percentage, and it tells you the ratio of the tire’s height to its width. In this example, the aspect ratio number “65” means that the tire’s height is 65 percent of its width.
What is the difference between a 50 series tire and a 60 series tire?
Aspect ratio refers to the tire’s section height in relation to its section width, as a percentage. For example, a 60-series tire features a sidewall that is 60% as tall as the tire’s section width. A 50-series tire will feature a shorter sidewall, at 50% of section width.
What’s the biggest tire I can put on a 15 inch rim?

|---|---|---|
| 165/65-15 | 205/60-15 | 235/75-15 |
| 175/55-15 | 205/65-15 | 245/40-15 |

| 175/65-15 | 205/75-15 | 245/60-15 |
Can I use 205 60r16 instead of 205 55r16?
No it won’t. The wheel radius is exactly the same, only the profile slightly different. The radius will be very slightly different. 205/55 will have a total radius of 519.15mm, while 205/60 will have a total radius of 529.4mm, so about 2% difference.
Which tire is taller 70 or 75?
I think the 75 series tire is roughly 1″ taller than the 70 series…. so 1/2″ more sidewall… not a lot of difference. The 75 definately “looks” better and might even get ya better mileage as you’re not turning as fast….
Are 265 tires bigger than 275?
Going from 265/70/17 to 275/70/17 isn’t a big deal. Depending on the specific dimensions of the tire, the only difference will be 0.4″ wider and 0.6″ taller per tire. The biggest difference is going to be going from a passenger rated tire to a light truck tire.
What is the difference between 55 and 60 on a tire?
Going from a 60 to a 55 series IF the tire is the *SAME width will: 1: Cause the speedo to read faster, as a 55 has more revs per mile/km. 2: Cause increased ride harshness. 3: Result in increased wear= Vehicle.
Does tire size have to be exact?
Yes, the wheel usually has some information written on it, or it’ll be in the owner’s manual. Wheels and tires must be of the same diameter– e.g. only mount a 16″ tire on a 16″ wheel.
What does the 55 mean on a tire?
Aspect ratio
This refers to the profile height of the sidewall, or the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. In our example, the 55 means that the sidewall height is 55% of the 205-mm tread width.
Is a 60 series tire wider than a 70 series?
Generally speaking, a 215-60 series tire is wider and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.
What does the 70 r mean on a tire?
The number 235 is the cross-section width in millimeters, while 70 is the ratio of sidewall height to cross-section width (70 percent). R means radial-ply construction and 16 is the wheel diameter, in inches.
What does 75 mean on tires?

How much bigger are 285 tires than 245?
The 245/75R16 will be a 30.5 tire. The 285/75R16 will be 32.8.
How much wider is a 265 tire than a 235?

How much wider is a 275 tire than a 245?
275 width tires offer 1.2 more inches of contact area per tire … so 2.4″ total more contact width than a 245 – so it’s gotta give a bit more grip.
Can I use 235 tires instead of 225?
Are 225 and 235 Tires Interchangeable? Yes, they are. However, this is only possible if your car’s rims can accept the larger millimeter.
Can I use 225 tires instead of 215?
This slight change in the ratio will affect the tire’s performance on the road. In most cases, tires with lower aspect ratios respond to lateral forces more effectively than those tires with higher aspect ratios, so 225 tires will effectively respond to lateral force better than the 215 tires.
Are 60 or 70 tires wider?
Generally speaking, a 215-60 series tire is wider and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.
