What would be the closest size to a 205-75-15 tire?
215-75-15, or a 215-70-15?
Thanks for the education

215-70-15 will be closer. middle number is aspect ratio, so the height of the sidewall is that percentage of the width.
.75*205 = 153.75 mm wall height
.70*215 = 150.5 mm wall height
.75*215 = 161.25 mm wall height -

Yes, but 225/70/15 was a standard size for police, ect.... A bit wider and just a touch taller. Good choice if your replacing tires but staying with the stock rims.Originally posted by Toploader View Post2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

Hmm, what is the difference in the width of the tread?.....Originally posted by BerniniCaCO3 View PostComment

the first number indicates the tread width in millimeters. Your's are 205mm, 225/70R15's would be 225mm across with a 70 aspect ratio and 15" rim size
