METRIC TIRE TO DIAMETER (INCHES) CALCULATOR For example a LT265/75R16 would be around 31.6 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
What is the difference between 265 70 R16 and 245 75 R16?
The numbers related to the profile (70/75) are percentages of the tyre width, measured in millimetres. So a 245/75/16 tyre is 183.75 mm tall on the sidewall. A 265/70/16 is 185.5 mm tall on the sidewall. That's a difference of 1.75 mm.
How much taller is a 265 tire than a 245?
The difference between 245 and 265 is ten millimeters. Along with all the changes, it is understandable that the number 245 is changed to 265. You may have heard that bigger tires have to do with the speed of a car. However, that's not really the case.
Can I use 245 instead of 265 tires?
Yes you can replace 265 with the 245 size tire. Since this tire size is optional and for the truck, you will have no problems with it. And your fuel economy may suffer a little due to the very weight of the tires and the best gripping power.
