The sidewall height is calculated as the aspect ratio- this is the second number in the tire numbers - multiplied by the tire width.AZ_Path wrote:The visual difference between these two options is almost unnoticeable. Your talking about 10mm in width. Neither of these options will make the appearance more aggressive unless you're going with an off-road tread pattern. The height of the sidewall is the same so the vehicle height remains the same. Here's more info on sizing if you're interested m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=46
I stand corrected. I should have kept reading my own link.BullDozer wrote:The sidewall height is calculated as the aspect ratio- this is the second number in the tire numbers - multiplied by the tire width.AZ_Path wrote:The visual difference between these two options is almost unnoticeable.

This means the sidewall height of a 275 60 18 vs 265 60 18 will be and additional height of 6mm (275-265) = 10 x .60 = 6 mm.
This is the sidewall height increase which then gets multiplied by 2 since we are dealing with a circle which has two sidewalls - when you look at your tire there will be total of two sidewalls below the wheel hub and above wheel hub.
So the 275 60 18 is 10 mm wider but also 12mm taller
I will let you know my outcome.coatseast wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 10:02 amfor those that have upgraded to 265/65R18, are you happy with the results? from above post - gives a 1.1" lift, wondering how it affects acceleration, handling and mileage?
I have a 2011 LE with the 18" rims. plan is to get the the cooper discoverer AT's sold exclusively at Walmart - $133 in the stock 265/60R18 size. A lot less than the 200 for the newer AT3 4S option. I'll take that tradeoff
just want to figure out if its worth going up in diamerter with the 65 aspect ratio. I'd like the extra height, but want to hear from those that have!
They are holding up nicely.TooMuchControl wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 4:49 amAfter 2 years - how many miles have to placed on these, and how are they holding up.
I'm looking for the critical rather than the positive.
I've had the Geolanders G015 on previously, and have had the Kumho HT on for the past 1.5 years. although I have the standard 16" rims. I'm looking at some 18" rims and wondering what the worth may be to do it.
You've had both 16" and 18" version on essentially the same vehicles - what's perceptible between the 18 and 16 in comfort, handling, and pot hole holding ability and the tires?
Thanks for any help and input!
