tyres

hello just wondering if anyone can tell me which size of tyres are the bigger ?
235 85 16 or 265 75 16 ?
in my eyes the first should be the bigger is this correct ?
im wanting the tallest to up the gearing on my landie .
thanks carl .

What do you mean by bigger?? Wider or taller? the first one's are marginally taller but .8mm is not really worth worrying about

Eeeerr that's wot i said init :doh:

They're pretty much exactly the same diameter (height) but 265s are approximately 3cm wider, and have a much chunkier look.

265's it is then .

A quick Google search would have given you the answeer but hey ho

This is how you figure it out if you dont want to use a calculator or whatever...

Lets take 235 85 16. The first number is obviously the width, the second number is the height. The height is the % of the width...so...85% of 235 is 199.75. And for the 265 75 16, the height (75% of 265) is 198.75.

So if you go for the 265s when infact what you want is height, it would be a waste of time. I am assuming with the 265s you intend to get, you are not running a standard Series engine!

i asked on here because i thought i might get help instead of going through google . i asked the question because my mates 265 75 16 looked bigger than my other mates 235 85 16's so why does everyone give anyone a hard time when they ask a question ? or is that just me ? as for this been posted before how do i know if ive not seen it ????????
