225 front, 255 rear

mikeadams1985 · Jan 21, 2016

I have just noticed that the front tyres are 225,65,16 and the rear are 255,65,16

now...if i understand this correctly the 225/255 is the width the 65 is height and the 16 is rim size.....yet theres a height difference of 2 inches between the front and back tyre

am i missing something?
this is wrong isnt it?

65 is a % of width so there will be a difference in overall diameter,best to run 4 of the same size

ah, ok. So...working it out.

Front is 27.4 inches
Rear is 29 inches

its been running this way for years :s
How bad is it?

center diff will have worked harder ,but its built to be equal 4 wheel drive with the same 4 tyres,so you might find in extreme circumstances it doesnt handle as it should

will get it changed over asap.
add it to the ever ending list of jobs

No, because the diff isn't locked

225 front, 255 rear
