Dummy me Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Mon, 7 Sep 2015 15:37:25 In Reply to: I placed the order, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Sun, 6 Sep 2015 05:35:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
All during the time I was comparing tire sizes and selecting an alternative size with a higher aspect ratio, it never dawned on me that two different tire sizes with nearly equivalent diameter and same size wheel would have nearly equivalent side wall height. Duh!
This fact was politely pointed out to me by a BITOG poster. So by changing from P215/55R16 to P205/60R16 I gained nothing in sidewall height or ground clearance.
But! I did save almost $30 per tire with this change.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
