R Red Pony Member Dec 22, 2004 92 0 7 Chicago Area Mar 28, 2006 #4 Mar 28, 2006 #4 Doesn't the 265 number represent how tall the tire is? I thought that the 40 refered to the width of the tire.

bigcat start with the upper hole, and if more traction is May 1, 2005 3,015 1 79 7200 feet Mar 28, 2006 #5 Mar 28, 2006 #5 265 would be the width, 40 would be the sidewall ratio (heigth), and 18 is the rim diameter.

Click to expand... 255s up front and 275 on the rear are popular. I'm running 275/40r18s all the way around without problems... John

A tire's numbers tell you the following: Section Width/Aspect Ratio Internal Construction Rim Diameter Service Info Example: 295/35R19 Section Width = 295mm Aspect Ratio = 35% Internal Construction = R for Radial Rim Diameter = 19" To calculate the overall height you do the following: Height of tire = (2 x sidewall) + rim diameter Sidewall = ( Section Width/25.4) x (Aspet Ratio/100) Since the section width is in mm we need to convert to inches, so we divide by 25.4 The aspect ratio is a percentage so we divide by 100 We can simplify the equation as: Sidewall = (section width x Aspect ratio) / 2540 So the height of the tire becomes [2 x ((section width x Aspect ratio) / 2540)] + rim diameter Ex. Height = [2 x ((295 x 35) /2540)] + 19 = 27.13
