Popular Sizes According to 2017 stats from TRAC (Tire and Rubber Association of Canada), below are the most popular tire sizes listed in order of popularity: 225/65R17, LT265/70R17, 265/70R17, LT245/75/R16, LT275/70R18, LT225/75R16, 235/65R17, 275/55R20, LT275/65R18, 215/70R16, 245/60R18.
Are 50 tires wider than 60?
The second number on a tire size refers to the aspect ratio: This is the ratio of its section height to its section width. The smaller the number, the shorter the sidewall and the wider the tire. In other words, a 50 series tire is shorter and wider than a 60, even though they both might be 275’s or whatever.
Can I put 60 tires on 55?
Yes…the wheel/tire combo has an overall diameter/circumference that should be maintained with 3% (+/-) the original spec. When you plus size wheels…the aspect ratio (height of the tire) decreases to compensate…and maintain the orig diameter/circumference.
What does the 55 mean on a tire?
Aspect ratio This refers to the profile height of the sidewall, or the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. In our example, the 55 means that the sidewall height is 55% of the 205-mm tread width.
What is the difference between 205/55 r16 and 205 60 r16?
The wheel radius is exactly the same, only the profile slightly different. The radius will be very slightly different. 205/55 will have a total radius of 519.15mm, while 205/60 will have a total radius of 529.4mm, so about 2% difference.
Can I use a 205 tire instead of 215?
Will this tire fit on the rim of the existing 205 tire ? Most likely yes, the 205/75-15 tires can fit rim widths that are from 5 inches to 6-1/2 inches, as long as the rim you have has a width in that range you should be fine. 215/75-15 isn’t a standard trailer tire size.
Do tires have to be the exact size?
Wheels and tires must be of the same diameter– e.g. only mount a 16″ tire on a 16″ wheel. However there is one other caveat– wheel width and tire width.
Is it OK to change tire aspect ratio?
Generally, the worst issue you will cause by changing the size is an inaccurate speedometer. That said, the only dimensions you can change are the width and aspect ratio — never the wheel size, unless you buy replacement wheels — and you should always strive to keep the total height of the tire the same as the OEM.
Can 225 tires replace 245?
Can you put 245 tires on 225 rims? Yes, you could. As long as both of tires have the same diameter, you can use them.

Are wide tires bad in rain?
Wet condition driving — Wide tires are better for driving in wet weather since they have sipes, which help to trap and remove water from the contact surface. Narrow tires have sipes as well, but since they have a smaller surface area, they have less of them.
Does tire width make a difference?
The width of the rim will influence the width of the tire. A tire mounted on a narrow rim would be “narrower” than if the same size tire was mounted on a wide rim. The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2″ change in rim width, the tire’s section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10″.
Do wider tires wear faster?
ALl other things being equal a smaller diameter tire will probably wear faster with more revolutions to go the same distance. But, a bigger car with larger tires will probably also weigh more so wear and tear from stopping and starting and cornering may well me more and so in practical terms you may not see it much.
Are wider tires better for cornering?
Wider bicycle tires corner better than narrower ones. Wider tires run at lower pressures and thus have a larger contact patch. This simply puts more rubber on the road and increases cornering grip.
Do wider tires cause understeer?
But in general, bigger front tires in relation to the rears will tend to decrease understeer.
Are wider tires better in snow?
Generally, narrower tires are better in snow and on ice because they are more stable and get better linear traction by penetrating the snow. This is not always true though; on hard-pack snow, wider tires with more sipes are better.
