How to choose the right tire. Here are some simple formulas to help you decide which tire size to use Here are the formulas with some examples: 1.Section width: To convert from millimeters to inches, multiply the given mm by .03937, For example the stock section width of a WS6 tire is 225 mm's So 225x.03937=8.86 inches. The section width is the widest point of the tire, not patch. 2. Section height: First you need to find sidewall height. This is done by dividing the section width by 25.4: 225/25.4=8.858 inches. Then multiply the overall sidewall height by the aspect ratio: 8.858x.70=6.2 inches. Then to get overall size multiply the sidewall height by 2 (top and bottom) and add rim diameter: 6.2x2+15"= 27.4 inches. So let's plug in some others. 255/60x15: 255/25.4=10.04 inches. 10.04x.60=6.02 inches 6.02x2+15=27.04 inches overall tire height.
245/60/15 245/25.4=9.65 9.65x.60=5.79 5.79x2+15=26.58 inches
235/60x15 235/25.4=9.3 9.3x.6=5.6 5.6x2+15=26.2 inches Here is the 235/60 15 on my T/A
