The 185HR15 will be quite a bit taller than the 185/65.
The number after the slash =E2=80=9C65=E2=80=9D when present, indicates the=
ratio of sidewall height to tread width, in percent. So for 185/65, the s=
idewall is only 65% as tall as the tread is wide, meaning roughly 120mm hig=
h.
When the second number is not present, the ratio is usually in the region o=
f 80%, meaning the 185HR would be around 144mm high. Almost an inch taller=
(ride height) than the 185/65.
All very approximate, and can vary somewhat from tire maker to tire maker o=
r even tire model to tire model.
In case you=E2=80=99re wondering, the =E2=80=98H=E2=80=99 is a speed rating=
, meaning the tire should be able to sustain speeds of 130 mph (when loaded=
within the limits given elsewhere on the tire). =E2=80=98R=E2=80=99 indic=
ates radial tire construction.

What=E2=80=A6if any =E2=80=A6 is the difference of 185HR-15 =E2=80=A6 and =
