What does aspect ratio of tires mean?
The aspect ratio is the tires profile. For instance, a tire with a 60 aspect ratio means that the tires hight from tread to rim is 60% of the tires nominal width. The lower the aspect ratio # the wider the tire.
Is a 60 wide tire wider than a 65 tire?
Yes, the smaller the aspect ratio the wider the tire.
What does aspect ratio of a tire mean?
The aspect ratio of a tire means The ratio of height to width. Reference, Automotive Steering, Suspension, and Alignment, Book Fifth edition Chapter 3. Page 60.
How much taller is a 285mm tire in inches to a 265mm tire?
It is not necessarily any taller, there are other factors to consider, mainly aspect ratio (if the tire is a 60, 65 or 70 )
How big is a 285 tire?
That depends on what the aspect ratio is. The 285 is just the width of the tire in millimeters. A 285/60 series is not the same size tire as a 285/50 series.
What do the small numbers next to the rim on a tire mean?
that's the tire size. like 225/60/16. 225 is the width in millimeters 60 is the aspect ratio. the sidewall is 60% of 225 tall. and the 16 is the rim size
Will it affect the driving comfort in any way if the aspect ratio of tire size changed from 65 to 60?
In general, the smaller the aspect ratio, the stiffer the ride. However, a change from 65 to 60 will be barely noticeable, if at all. Keep in mind that other factors also affect a tire's ride comfort, including whether it is a run-flat type (which has stiffer sidewalls) or if it is designed to provide better fuel economy, which often results in a harder ride.
Will a 265 70r tire replace a 265 60r tire?
Since you are changing the second number which is the aspect ratio the overall height of the 265/70 is going to 2.1 inches taller than the 265/60. That is quite a big difference and more than the 3% change most car manufactures allow.
What is the cord of a 60 foot wing which has an aspect ratio of 8.3?
490 feet
Is it bad to change from 215 to 175 tire size?
Not a good idea. But if you insist they you need to change the aspect ratio. For instance if you have a 215/60-15 tire and want to go to a 175 then you must go with a 175/75-15 to keep the overall diameter close to the same. Otherwise your speedometer will be way off and handling, performance, traction, and fuel mileage will be adversely effected. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.
Which tire is taller p235 r 7017 or p255 r 6517?
That would be the 255.a typical tire p195/60r16* P - Type of tire * 195 - width of the tire across the tread in millimeters * 60 - Aspect ratio of the sidewall compared to the width * R - Radial construction * 16 - Diameter of the rim in inches * 63 - Tire's load rating * H - Tire's speed rating * M+S - Tire is suitable for all-season driving
Are p195 65r15 interchangeable with p195 60r15?
Quite likely, but with some precautions. The "15" refers to the diameter of the rim on which the tire is made to be used. In this aspect there is no problem. The "195" indicates the width of the tire in millimeters so, again there is no problem. The "60" and "65" is the aspect ratio and is a percentage which is used to determine the height of the tire section. Since there is a difference of 5 between the two, the 65 tire is 5% higher than the 60. This works out to be 9.75 mm or close to 1/2 an inch. In practice it makes the overall outside diameter of the tire about 1 inch more than the other. If this does not produce any problem in the space the vehicle has for the tire, then, YES, they can be interchanged.
