Exactly!
...no they dont...215/225 is the width...45 is the percentage of the width...so if the 225 is wider than the 215(which it is) than 45%of 215 is would make a shorter sidewall than 45% of 225..for example,if 215 was a 6.5" tire and 225 was a 7" tire than take 45% of each one and see which one would be taller?!!? make sense, i live a sad work life at the moment,selling tires right now,i stare at a set of 205/50516 potenza's and some 215/50r16's gta's..they are def. not the same hieght
