Can I use 195 65 15 tyres on my h100 bakkie
Do you normally fit 195/70 15 tyres? The tyres would fit, BUT the 195/65 R15 tyre is actually smaller than the 195/70 R15 tyres. The rolling surface, the area with the tread marks on, is shorter on the 65 size tyres. This will make your speedo read at the wrong speed and might affect the handling.
This is what the numbers mean. 195 = width of the tread across the tyre in mm. 65 = height of the side wall as a percentage of the tread width, (65% of 195mm). 15 = diameter of the wheel rim in inches.
