Are 285 70 17 tires the same as 33?

What is the most common 17-inch tire size?

Which tire is taller 70 or 75?

The higher the number, the taller the sidewall (and vice versa). From the foregoing, it appears that tires with the same section width should have the same width regardless of aspect ratio.

What do last 3 digits of tire size mean?

The final figure in a tire size sequence is the speed rating, which is indicated by a letter: P225/70R16 91S. Just as your load index number corresponds to a specific load, your speed rating letter corresponds to a particular speed capability based on a standardized laboratory test.

What size is 285 by 70 in inches?

How wide of a rim do you need for a 285 tire?

For sports cars, the general rule of thumb is to match the wheel width to the tread width in inches. For example a tire size 285/35-19 has a tread width of 9.9″. The ideal wheel width would be 10.0″ for that tire.

What does 70R17 mean?

An arrow points to the numbers 265/70R17 115T on the inner part of the tire sidewall. 265 is the width, 70 is the aspect ratio, R stands for radial, 17 is the wheel diameter and 115T is the load index and speed symbol.

Why are tires called 33?

In our example size, the tire will fit a 18-inch wheel. Some manufacturers build off-road tires using inches instead of millimeters, so you may see sizes like “33×17.” This simply means the total height of the tire is 33 inches and it fits a 17-inch wheel.

What does H and L mean for tires?

Buy Dueler H/L Tires & Drive in Luxury

What’s better load range D or E?

What’s Better: Load Range D or E? Load range D and E tires have different weight capacities. For example, a load range D tire can handle 1,220 lbs at 65 PSI, while an E tires carry loads at 80 PSI. If looking at their load durability, load range E tires are better, but that is the only difference between them.

Do I need 10 ply tires?

If you drive a ¾ ton, one ton or even larger pickup or SUV (or haul a trailer) then you require 10-ply tires. You might have heard about Load Range E tires, which are a 10-ply equivalent.

F-load range tires allow for higher carrying capacity at a higher inflation pressure compared to tires of the same size with an E-load range.

What PSI should my 10 ply tires be?

All load range “C” tires (the old “6-ply” rating) can be inflated to 50 psi, “D” (8-ply) to 65 psi and “E” (10-ply) to 80 psi.

Do H or V rated tires last longer?

Sticking with H-rated tires comes at a cost. While we found prices are similar to S- and T-rated tires, H-rated tires didn’t last as long in our treadwear test–an average of 49,180 miles, versus 61,080 for our S- and T-rated tires. V-rated tires had an even shorter tread life of 48,260 miles.
