Well its good thing someone knows the exact numbers for tires, because i sure dont. is there a post on here on how the size codes work?

 

I'll break it down:
265/70R15

The first number, 265, is the width of the tire in millimeters (1mm = 0.039 inch) so 265mm == 10.43 inches

The next number is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of sectoin width to sidewall height. On a 265/70 tire, the sidewall will be 70% of the tread width or 265mm*70% == 265mm*0.70 == 185.5mm (7.3 inches).

The last number is the diameter of the rim in inches.

To get to the overall height of the tire, double the sidewall (in inches) and add it to the rim diameter. This is the no-load diameter of the tire (give or take).

 

thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated.

By the wayyou should put this up somewhere that way when people search it it will be easy to find.

 

I'll add this link to the useful links post in this section:

ill get a quote tommorow since thats my day off

o thats way over priced i think, and tire disposal fee is only $2 per tire not 2.69 or watever it said, so something is off

 

yea you gotta understand though that its firestone tires, theyre are notorious for being over priced on every little thing.

 

well ill try to get a few choices, so ill even try to get pics of there tread design etc

 

well they were really busy and i only got one quote but they were good tires btw

he said something about the size that was given to me, like it wasnt one we carried or dosent exsit, im not sure
o and if u cant see the whole thing,(if your using mozilla firefox) right click on it and click view imige and u will be able to see whole thing on ur screen click it and it changes to its orgioal size

 

thanks man. is that quote going to be the same at all town fair tire stores? I will stop in to a couple of different store and see what their prices are and see how cheap i can get them.

 

bring that in, if they have a problem the them to call that store and talk to jp about a quote, on a balzer, it should be the same in all states, but we dont have a sales tax so it might be alittle more i dont know about CT

if jp the guy sasys hes unsure of what you mean, tell your sales rep to tell him(jp) it was to one joe o came in an asked about thursday
