The 235/65 is the same width but taller than the 235/60. The 235 is the width of the tire in millimeters. The 65 or 60 is the height of the tire relative to the width. So the height of the 65 tire is 153mm or 6 inches high (235x65/100=153).

Something that I've never seen discussed is the width that will fit and allow the slider door to open. I have 230/60/16 tires and my slider clears the tire by less than 1/4". It will also depend on the offset of the wheel, which can be adjusted with spacers. I don't know what I have. -----Original Message-----

He said the Michelin Defender‘s I have currently (235/60R16 100T) are available but not rated for van’s gross weight. SAYS I WILL HAVE TO SIGN A WAIVER TO PUT THAT SAME TIRE BACK ON. When we lifted vehicle we had to adjust it pretty high as wheel well was rubbing tire on tight turns. He says the Hankook’s he is recommending are taller (hopefully not wider as I suspect that would be problematic), so not sure if taller would throw of balance of van on turns, though I always appreciate better clearance! Fine to go with his recommendation with better load rating, replace with same I have currently, or try and find something else? Any advice greatly appreciated! Sheri |
