tire sizes are very simple... the first number is how wide the tire is in millimeters. the next number is the sidewall aspect ratio, meaning how tall the sidewall is. so for a 265/70/17, the tire is 265mm wide, the sidewall is 70% of the width, & obviously is 17" diameter.
a 285 is only 20mm wider than a 265 & the sidewall is slightly taller at 70% of 285mm.
hope that helps some.

Ok thanks and yes that helps me out a good bit. The word sidewall help it all make sense now.
I do appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
