What is the difference in centimeters between tire sizes 55 and 60?

[ParkerDella]

When the tire tread width and wheel size are the same, the height difference between a 55 and 60 tire is approximately 3cm. Below is relevant information about the 55 and 60 aspect ratios: 1. Calculation method for tire height: Tire height = tread width * aspect ratio * 2 + rim diameter. For example, a tire with a 55 aspect ratio has a height of approximately 73.22cm, while a 60 aspect ratio tire has a height of around 75.72cm. 2. The role of tire aspect ratio in vehicles: A higher aspect ratio means the sidewall appears thicker from the side, providing better shock absorption, improved comfort, and greater durability. In contrast, tires with a lower aspect ratio have shorter sidewalls and wider treads, resulting in a larger contact area. This enhances grip and lateral resistance during turns, improving handling. However, they offer poorer shock absorption, generate more road noise, and are less comfortable than tires with a higher aspect ratio.
