How tall is a 205/60R14 tire?

Tire height, also known as the tire's diameter or overall diameter, is the measurement from the ground to the top of the tire. It's essentially the distance from one side of the tire to the other, passing through the center, when it's correctly inflated and not under load. 205/60R14 tire has a diameter or height of 23.7 inches or 601.6 mm.

205/60R14 Tire Sidewall Height

Tire sidewall height, also known as the tire's aspect ratio, is the measurement of the height of the tire's cross-section or the height of the tire from the rim to the tread. It is typically represented as a percentage of the tire's width. 205/60R14 tire has a sidewall height of 4.8 inches or 123 mm.

Sidewall height (also known as tire profile) can greatly affect a tire's driving characteristics. Lower profile tires (30 or 35 series) often provide better handling but can give a harsher ride, while higher profile tires (65 or 70 series) generally provide a smoother ride but with less precise handling.
