Topic: Tire aspect ratio - problems if change from 60 to 65? (Read 10583 times)Hi I am switching my all seasons to winters on my 06 Sebring Sedan. My all seasons are P205/60R15. For my winters I can go with same or move sluightly different aspect ratio P205/65R15. A friend also has same Sebring and uses 60R15 all seasons and 65R15 for winter. Is the shift in aspect ratio from 60 to 65 something that you recommend, suggest avoid or is it insignficant? Thanks! it is the overall diameter that is of concern, not just the aspect ratio. the 205/65/15 will be over 3% bigger than 205/60/15, therefore not recommended. stick with the stock size or go with 195/65/15 if you like. see calculator http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit those are very popular sizes so you should have no trouble finding a winter tire to suit your needs (18 to choose form on 1010tires.com) this is all assuming that your 205/60/15 was the correct size to start with...most databases show the sebring stock size is 205/60/16. if in fact your stock size is 205/50/16 you will have no trouble downsizing to 205/65/15, you'll just need new rims. « Last Edit: November 03, 2009, 04:02:45 pm by 02MP5MT » It's about 3.2% ish larger diameter which is a bit above the limit.... I'd consider 195/65R15 which is very common and inexpensive in comparison. Nathan@1010tires195/65R15 is a great suggestion. JT: I'm sure your car has the 205/60R16 as standard, not 15 as you stated. The 205/65R15 are as close to an exact match as your going to get. The difference in size is 0.8%, meaning you'd be going 99.2 km/h if your speedo was saying 100 km/h. This is according to the Canadian Driver Tire Calculator. My 2002 Sebring has 205/60R16 in the summer, 205/65R15 in the winter. My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. - Thomas Jefferson What does the 60 or 65 mean in tire size?This percentage compares the tire's section height with the tire's section width. For example, this aspect ratio of 60 means that the tire's section height is 60% of the tire's section width. R indicates the construction used within the tires casing. R stands for radial construction.
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.
Does the middle number on tires matter?The two-digit number after the slash mark in a tire size is the aspect ratio. For example, in a size P215/65 R15 tire, the 65 means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire's width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire's sidewall will be.
What does the 65 mean in tire size?The aspect ratio is indicated on the tire sidewall as a percentage. It's the height of the sidewall measured from wheel rim to top of the tread, expressed as a percentage of tire width. In this example, the aspect ratio is 65, meaning the sidewall is 65 percent as high as the tire is wide.
