What is the difference between 195 60 14 and 195 70 14?
The 195/70R14 sized tire has a sidewall height which is 70% that of 195mm. The shorter 195/60R14 tire has a sidewall height of only 60% of 195mm. In other words. R14 sized tire has a taller sidewall than that of the 195/60R14 sized tire. These numbers show the aspect ratio, which is the tire sidewall height in percentage to width of the tire. The width of Sidewall is directly proportional to the aspect ratio, a 70 aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 70% of 265mm while 65 aspect ratio means it is 65% of 265mm.Following the tire width, you’ll see a slash and then two more digits. This is the aspect ratio, which denotes the height of the tire’s sidewall as a percentage of its width. A 70 means the sidewall height is 70% of the tire width.Because measurement of sidewall height of the tire is a percentage of the tread section width a 75 tire would be taller than a 70 height aspect ratio tire if the section width was the same.A 60 tire will have a lower profile compared to a 70 tire, meaning the sidewall height is shorter. This lower profile translates to enhanced handling and responsiveness on the road. On the other hand, a 70 tire offers a higher sidewall, resulting in a more comfortable and smooth ride.
