Question on Tire Sizes ?
I have been looking madly at tire size website's for a couple weeks now, and have noticed that when looking for 275/40/17's it also calls for 275/45's?
So my question is this, should one be looking to get 275/45 or 275/40's ? I see alot of people go with the 40's so wasnt sure the difference is or what is correct? |
you want 275/40/17 that is the correct sidewall height.
|
Noob question...what do the first 2 numbers stand for
I'll take a stab at it and guess that the first number is the width of the tire and the second is the thickness of the sidewall??? |
yeah the in the case 275 is how wide the tire is, and the 40 in how tall the side wall is...
|
I figured (40) were the correct sidewall, just was curious on 45's so thought I would ask.
I get the new set installed tomorrow, they are Nexes 275/40's x4. Never heard of these before so we'll see, but from what I have read is that they are a German based tire that are mounted onto BMW/Mercedez Benz cars. They seem to have the same tire pattern almost as a Falken tire but are a whole lot cheaper! |
