Hi ,could you tell me if a 145x65x15 tyre is the same height as a 215x65x15 tyre
Thanks. Keith

No....according to a tyre calculater 145 is 22.42 inches........215 is 26 inches

Try it, its not difficult.......

Hi Jon  I've gone onto that site and I can't see
where the tyre height is when I calculate  the
tyre size. Does anyone know of another site or how
to work the height of tyre using the sizes eg. 215x65x15
Thanks. Keith

Thought you meant overall diameter, not side wall, sorry.........
Anyway this site gives both...........

That's what I'm looking for Jon, thanks very much

 Pretty sure it works out as 65% of the width......ie......65% of 215 mm.........as in 215/65 in the tyre size.

Question to add....

Is there any hard/fast rule linking size of tyres on front to those on the back???
Seen so many different variations, or so it seems.....
