Are you sure? How do you got those numbers?

The 245 and 265 represent milimeters. The 40 is a %.

So, 40% of 245 is 98mm. 40 % of 265 is 106mm. The difference between the two is just 8mm or 0.315 inches.

Wow you joined the conversation a little late. The point has already gotten across.

Matt was probably referring to the overall tire height, you computed the height from rim to tread so overall height would be .315" x 2 = .630".

IMO the most relevant number is rolling radius, which varies across tires of the same size due to compound and construction variables. This affects acceleration and speedo calibration.

Sorry, a bit OT here.

Theres a guy on here that had 275/40s on oem cr wheels. They fit perfect.
Can someone let me know if this is possible? would 275/35 work on a CR wheel, for real?
