You guys have the whole series thing all wrong. The way you read that is if you have a 275/40 that means your tire height or sidewall is 40% of what the width is. If you have a 315/35 then your tire height is 35% of what the width is. So you see how even though the series is smaller it can still have just as much sidewall as a tire that is smaller in width and has a bigger series number. That is how it has always been explained to me anyway.

ok here it is guys.
1st# (275) = width in millemeters
2nd# (40) = percentage of width equals sidewal height. (dont forget u have sidewall on both sides on the rim)
3rd# (17) = rim diameter
to get tire height divide #1 by 25.4 (metric conversion) than multiply by #2 (as percentage .40 etc.) than multiply that by 2 (sidewall on both sides of rim) and add #3
walla
