Yes they are. Should be 205/60 or 195/65.

Why would a 205/65 and a 195/65 be any different at the speedometer?
Where's Marshall when you need him.
This is aspect ratio, meaning that the height from rim to tread is 65% of
the tread width.
Don't ask me why.

the '65' in your example is the Aspect Ratio; that represents the height

Tall/height meaning distance
My understand, the aspect ration is expressed in a percentage of the width
of the tire (sidewall to sidewall, not tread width).
So you got it right, the 65 is the wall height, it's just represented as a
percent of the width, not a number to indicate a size in itself, if that
makes sense. ie, a 65

It's because the 65 is NOT the SAME TYPE of number
maybe this explanation will help you grasp the concept: it's pretty
clearly laid out here:

you need to get the idea that the '65' is a measurement out of your

No, a very wide tire can have a very short sidewall, it just wouldn't be
called a 65, more likely a 45, or, what are some of the really low ones
now?? 30? That's when the tire is pretty much painted on the rim. hee hee

Your explanation
Very good.
Rim is a measurement
Width is a measurement
Aspect Ratio is just a percentage of the width.
I missed the beginning of this thread, how did this all start? Just refer

...Figured out why the speedo on the 300E is off by 5 mph (you are going 5
mph
faster than what the speedo shows, as checked with GPS). The book calls
for 195/65/15 and the tires on the car are 195/70/15...
Which calculates out to a 3.1% difference and a 24.6 revs per mile
difference.
It is different in Iowa -- we are further east than you are. In Maine, it
would have been a 10 mph difference due to the rotation of the earth.

Nope - you're 2 hours behind CDT (Kaleb's local time, mine too). His
