It is defined as 80% or 70% of width. So a 155/80 is 155 mm wide at the edge of the tread and the sidewall is 124mm (155mm; /html/spridgets/2008-01/msg00272.html (9,394 bytes)

Tire width times the aspect ratio divided by 25.4 (to convert to inches) = the sidewall dimension in inches. So.... 175 * .7 / 25.4 = 4.82 inches.

Re: [Spridgets] No real difference in tires (score: 1): Author: "Biff Jones" <biffjones@verizon.net>; Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 22:52:11 -0500; The tire width is designated by the stated size, i.e., 155 (mm) ='s 6 1/8", 175 ='s 6 7/8"s. So the difference is 3/4"s wider for the 175's over 155's. _______________________________________________; /html/spridgets/2008-01/msg00277.html (7,556 bytes)

You get a larger flat bit on the bottom and more rolling resistance. One can counteract this by increased tyre pressures, but the pressure n; /html/spridgets/2008-01/msg00300.html (10,651 bytes)
