245 and 225 are the first numbers in a tires measurement and they simply tell you how wide the tire is in mm. So a 245 is wider then a 225. But which is taller? This depends on the second number which would be something like 245/70 or 245/75 and the same goes for the 225/70 or 225/75 and there are many different combinations. This second number tells you in a percentage what the sidewall height is compared to the width which is the first number. So for a 245/70 tire it would be 70% of 245 = sidewall height, in this case that would be 171.5mm and a 245/75 would be 75% of 245 = 183.75mm so in this combination the 245/75 is taller than a 245/70. So if you had a 245/60 the sidewall height would be 60% of 245 =147mm and if you had a 225/75 the sidewall height would be 75% of 225 =168.75 which would make it taller then the 245, so as you can see it is the second number which gives you the calculation needed in order to get the height. Of course the last number in tire dimensions is the rim size such as 245/70/16 would mean it is for a 16 inch rim and this will affect overall height of the tire compared to a 245/70/15 which would go on a 15 inch rim.
What else can I help you with?
Can you replace 245 75 16 tires with 225 65 16 tires?

The 225/55 tires are wider and shorter in sidewall height, so the height would be fine but you'll need to see if the width works without scraping.
Can 235 75 R15 tires substitute 225 75 R15 tires?

Can you use 225 50 r17 instead of 225 60 r17?
Yes, you can use 225/50 R17 tires instead of 225/60 R17 tires, but there are important considerations. The 225/50 R17 tires have a shorter sidewall, which will affect ride comfort and handling, potentially leading to a stiffer ride and increased cornering performance. Additionally, the overall diameter of the tire will be smaller, which can impact speedometer accuracy and may affect the vehicle's clearance and suspension. Always consult a professional or refer to your vehicle's specifications before making such changes.
