If you take the time , and actually do the math , you will see what I'm talking about
One more time , the tire ( 265 m) is somehow short off the right tire for that wheel
Now , one makes the tire wall , ( percentage of the tire thread ) from 35% to 30% , the result is a smaller tirewall , right ? Then the tire thread still is at the very same position , but the tirewall ( smaller by 5% ) still have to bridge the distance from the tire thread ,mot the wheel , so it will have to be stretched even more so that the tire with a 35% , am I right ?
Just to help clarify my point , let's say that the new tire is 265/.10 , the original was 265/35 , see may point ? One would have 92.75 m of tire wall on the 265/35 , but only 10.5 on the 265/10 , that's a lot less tirewall to makeup the space in between the tire thread edge and the wheel , and this only happen when the tires aren't the right size ( thread with ) for the wheel .
