That's only a "flea's doodle" difference !
Aren't the "Middle numbers" ......e.g. 315/35/17...and 285/40/17... on all of the tyres sizes a "percentage" of the width ?
i.e. 315 X 35% = 110.25mm
285 X 40% = 114.00mm
Difference in "Wall Height" = 3.75mm ( 15/100ths of an inch )
Have I got this wrong ??
Cheers,
Warren.

Thats right Warren, but the Goodyears are half an inch larger in the overall diameter which is what I'm after.
