What is the difference between tire 60 and 65?

1. Different sizes: Tire 65 is 65% of the tire width; tire 60 is 60% of the tire width. For a 200mm tire, the former has a thickness of 130mm, while the latter is 120mm. 2. Different meanings: A 60 tire indicates that the section height is 60% of the width; a 65 tire indicates that the section height is 65% of the width. The functions of tires are as follows: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 3. Reduce and absorb shocks and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components.

The difference between 60 and 65 series tires mainly lies in the aspect ratio. The 65 series has thicker sidewalls, making the ride feel like sitting on a sofa. It's less bumpy when going over speed bumps or rough roads, especially comfortable for long-distance driving or family trips. However, body roll is more noticeable during turns, and the car sways more. The 60 series has thinner sidewalls, offering significantly better handling. The car responds immediately to steering inputs, and high-speed cornering is very stable. But you have to slow down for every manhole cover, otherwise, it can be quite jarring. For my urban commute, the 60 series works great, but if you frequently drive on rough suburban roads, the 65 series is more practical.

The numbers 60 and 65 for tires may look similar, but they make a big difference in actual use. The 65 has a higher aspect ratio, thicker sidewalls, and excellent shock absorption. It can absorb a lot of vibrations when driving over bumps, and the rims are less likely to get scratched, making it more durable. The 60 has a lower aspect ratio and thinner sidewalls, with the advantage of more precise steering and stronger grip, keeping the car very stable during sharp turns. The downside is that driving over speed bumps can be quite jarring, reducing comfort. In terms of fuel consumption, there's basically no difference between the two. The key is to consider the roads you usually drive on. If you mostly drive in the city, choose the 60; if you often encounter rough roads, the 65 is a more worry-free option.

60 and 65 represent the aspect ratio of the tire. The larger the number, the thicker the sidewall. A 65 tire has a height that is 65% of its width, providing a comfortable ride and is suitable for family cars. A 60 tire has a height that is only 60% of its width, offering more agile handling and is suitable for those who seek a sporty driving experience. Both types of tires will cause slight speedometer errors when installed, so it's important to match the original factory specifications when changing tires.
