What J said might be a little confusing to some. I'll break down tire dynamics to everyone.
Stock tire 205/55/15 205 = # of millimeters from inner side wall to outer side wall Divide this number by 25.4 to get inches (stock is a 8.07" tire) 55 = the height of the tread from rim to tallest tread This is a % based off the section width. So 55% of 205. The height for a stock tire is rought 113mm or 4.43 inches high. 15 = the rim size This is confusing because most people think that the middle number (55) is an actual number in mm instead of a percent. This is why a 225/45/17 tire is taller than a 205/45/17. Hope I helped. This post has been edited by turboinduction: Jul 6, 2004 - 6:04 PM |
