Are 60 and 65 tires interchangeable?
1 Answers
Tires with aspect ratios of 60 and 65 are interchangeable. The requirements for tires on rims are only related to width and radial length. As for the aspect ratio, there are no specific requirements as long as the radial and width fall within the applicable range of the rim. The aspect ratio can vary slightly, but it is essential to ensure that the two tires on the same axle are of the same size. Differences between aspect ratios 60 and 65: The difference between tires with aspect ratios of 60 and 65 lies in the fact that the 65 aspect ratio is higher. Tires with a higher aspect ratio have longer sidewalls, providing better cushioning and relatively higher comfort. However, they offer poorer feedback from the road and weaker lateral resistance during turns. Conversely, tires with a lower aspect ratio and larger inner diameter have shorter sidewalls and a broader tread, resulting in a larger contact area and greater pressure-bearing capacity. These tires are very responsive to the road and offer strong lateral resistance during turns, enhancing the vehicle's handling. Considerations when choosing aspect ratio: There is no inherently good or bad aspect ratio. The key is to consider the type of vehicle and the desired driving experience, then select the tire aspect ratio that best suits your car.
