275/50/15

but if hes asking about 60s he obviously wants 28 tall tires, not 26?

FredP

what does the 60 mean?

AdderMk2

Or maybe he doesnt know the break down of tire sizes

the second number in a tire size, for instance 60... 275/60/15
Is the percentage of the width of the tire whick makes up the sidewall height..
275 * 0.60= sidewall height
165mm sidewall which is about 6.5" (165 x .0393701.... metric to inch conversion)
add your two sidewall heights together (one for above and one for below the rim) 6.5 + 6.5 = 13"
then total sidewall height plus rim size = overall tire diameter 13" + 15"=28" tire....

dont ya love these we need to sticky that equation.

AdderMk2

math owns me!

lol its funny cuz the way u solve it and the way i go about seem alot diff, but do the same thing and get the same correct ans.

my way

stock size is 225/60/15, need to no what profile size for a certain tire size...

225/60=245/X

and i solve it like that, just change the underlined number for w.e. tire size i wanna use

yeah i wouldnt go with the 275/60. that's way tall. i didn't know about this stuff and ordered the wrong size last month and when they were on the car they looked like big ole mudders...

yes but its tight and will have to do some hammer work

see my galley for pics mines lowered that much.
