Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/km Difference
195/65-15 127mm 317mm 634mm 1993mm 502 0.0%
205/60-15 123mm 314mm 627mm 1970mm 508 -1.2%
215/60-15 129mm 320mm 639mm 2007mm 498 0.7%
Ride height should be determined by the radius (center of wheel/axle to outer edge of tire), not the diameter...215/60-15 vs. 195/65-15 results in only a 3mm difference in ride height, which is more or less negligable...
