plz help on tire size

[masonhenson]

is a 185 70 14 taller than a 205 50 16? whats the difference in height?

[Humphrizzle]

the height of the sidewall is calculated with the following formula:

Height = % of Width.

205mm wide tire
50% of 205 = size in millmeters

height= 102.5mm

185mm wide tire
70% of 185= size in millimeters

Height = 129.5mm


Hope this helped!

Conversion MM to Inches=

102.5mm= 4.0354330708705 inches

129.5mm=5.0984251968559 inches

In other words, Yes!

yeah but one is a 14.the other is a 16

the size of the wheel does not have anything to do with the size of the sidewall.
