are 235 85 r16 the same as 7.50 R16?

(1/2) > >>

flash42:
was told they are the same size, is this true?

anaxemurderer:
basically the same radius, but 7.50 are narrower. I believe they are 7.50 wide, whilst 235/85 are 9.4ish, definately narrower though.

they are as near as damn it the same diameter, but a lot narrower. I run 235/85s for laning and have 7.50s as spares

flash42:
so the 235s are narrower the the 750s?

clbarclay:
The clue is in the name.

7.5 inches = 190mm
235mm = 9.25 inches

The actual size of a tyre varies a little from its nominal size between manufactures, tread patterns and retred or new.

This should help explain the tyre sizes if your unsure just what all the codes mean.
