Tires size

[Sicko]

Can someone please tell me the height and width of these tires in inches.

285/45/22

285/30/24

285mm is for widths of 8.5" to 9"
35mm and 45 mm is the height and thickness of a tire

285/45/22 = 30.1x11.2
285/30/24 = 31.3x12

Just do the math... 285 mm / 25.4 = 11.2204 inches wide

11.2204 inches wide * 0.45 (%) = 5.0492 inches sidewall * 2 = 10.0984 + 22 Rim = 32.0984 Inches tall.

11.2204 inches wide * 0.30 (%) = 3.3661 inches sidewall * 2 = 6.7322 + 24 Rim = 30.7322 inches tall.

285mm is for widths of 8.5" to 9"
35mm and 45 mm is the height and thickness of a tire

the profile is a % of the width of the tire.

Also even though a tire maybe a certain size, stretch also will effect how tall the wheel/tire combo will sit. b/c a stretched side wall won't be 100 percent vertical. I have a 305/35/24 outside that's not on my car, and I think a 285/40/22, if i have time I'll go measure the height for you.

I do not know what you mean by stretch... Some tires flex under extreme centrifugal forces according to carcass design and engineered purpose...

Section width is NOT thread width... It's the widest the sidewall will go on mounted in the recommended width wheels. Tires are also inflated to maximum recommended pressure cold.

Also engineers account for the flat spot on the bottom of the tire due to capacity of load... Just because the side wall it's not 100% vertical does not mean the measurement in the design is less or it's wrong.

Having said all that, each manufactures has a different ruler to measure their tires. Coming from a Racing background were tires are as important as engine power, there is a lot of technology in today's street tires...
