115/70R15 = 21.3X4.5R15. 125/70R15 = 21.9X4.9R15. 165/50R15 = 21.5X6.5R15. 195/45R15 = 21.9x7.7R15. Tires By Vehicle. Use our tire size tools to calculate specs, speed, gear ratios and more.

Counter intuitively, the larger 16” wheel actually has a smaller total diameter and therefore radius than the smaller 15” wheel.PIbG.
