What size is a 275 65R18 tire?
A 275/65R18 tire has an overall diameter of 32. 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.Similarly, we only recommend changing the aspect ratio by 5% either side of your cars preferred size. For example, a car designed to take a 60 aspect ratio tire could also fit a 55 or 65 aspect ratio. In winter it is very common to ‘downsize’ tires – this is making the width slightly smaller.
