The aspect ratio of a tire means The ratio of height to width.

In a tire size designation like 29575R22.5, the "75" refers to the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its width. Specifically, it means that the sidewall height is 75% of the tire's width of 295 millimeters. This aspect ratio influences the tire's handling, ride comfort, and overall dimensions.
In tire sizing, a number like 50 or 60 refers to the aspect ratio, which is the height of the tire's sidewall as a percentage of its width. A tire with a 50 aspect ratio has a shorter sidewall compared to a tire with a 60 aspect ratio, which means the 60 aspect ratio tire is generally taller and may appear wider. However, the actual width is determined by the tire's designation (e.g., 205/50 R16 vs. 205/60 R16), so you need to look at the width number to compare them directly.
A typical tire measurement is given in three parts. Ex. 255/55/R17 This measure ment means: Tire width in mm/Aspect Ratio/ Radial design on a 17 inch wheel. The aspect ratio is the width/height of the tire. So in the example given the aspect ratio is: 55=255/height So find height 255*.55=140.25mm 140.25mm=5.5 inches So the overall height of the tire= (5.5*2)+17=28 inches You can use this series of calculations, or search for an online calculator that will do it for you.
When switching from a 255/70R16 to a 265/75R16 tire, the primary changes are in the tire's width and aspect ratio. The 265 tire is wider (10 mm) and has a larger sidewall height due to the increased aspect ratio, which can result in improved ride comfort and traction. Additionally, the overall diameter of the 265/75R16 tire is larger, which may slightly affect speedometer readings and vehicle handling dynamics. It's important to ensure that the new tire size is compatible with your vehicle's specifications.
the ratio of wing span to the chord of the aerofoil is ASPECT RATIO
That is the aspect ratio , or ratio of width to height of the tire
The aspect ratio is the tires profile. For instance, a tire with a 60 aspect ratio means that the tires hight from tread to rim is 60% of the tires nominal width. The lower the aspect ratio # the wider the tire.
It means it is a radial tire with 70 aspect ratio.
The tire's height, also known as the aspect ratio, is sometimes referred to as the tire's profile.
Is called the aspect ratio.
Yes, for traction.
They come in many aspect ratios from 45 to 80
They go from 45 to 75
Yes, the smaller the aspect ratio the wider the tire.
No a 70 aspect ratio tire would be taller than a 65.
Depends on the aspect ratio of the tire. For instance a 215/70-16 and a 205/75-16 are almost the exact same diameter with the 205 tire being 1/4" larger in diameter because it has a larger aspect ratio. For all practical purposes they are the same height. I would have to know the aspect ratio of both tires to answer the question.
Usually, it'll be XXX/75R22.5 or XXX/80R22.5, with "XXX" being 275, 285, or 295. On a 22.5 inch wheel with a 75 aspect ratio, it'll have a diameter of 39.33 inches. With an 80 aspect ratio, it'll have a diameter of 40.45 inches. A 24.5 inch wheel and tire will have a diameter of 41.33 inches with a 75 aspect ratio and a diameter of 42.45 with an 80 aspect ratio.
