225/45 vs 235/40 Tyre side height?
Hi all,
Was given 235/40 Goodyear F1 becos there isn't a 225/45.. Tyre shop says wheel overall size identical for both.. Can't figure this out. Pick ur brain, can?
45% of 225 = 94mm
40% of 235 = 101.25mm
Difference = 7.25mm x 2 = 14.5mm (for total wheel diameter). . What makes them equal? (wild thought) Thicker tyre thread? Thanks..

the tire shop can be right in saying they might be the the same. why so? cause not all 225/45/18 tires are the same. take for instance the RE040 and AD07. AD07 is wider than the RE040 of the same size. so it could be that it might be the same after all. maybe you should have measured the diameter of the two tires and compared.
