Answer and explanation:
When you are changing a car tire, the most important thing is to keep the total diameter as equal as possible.
The total car tire diameter can be calculated as:
The profile of this tire is 75 (the higher/taller relation), therefore a 5 percent lower profile would be:
pr=0.95·75=71.25
The problem is that the profiles are normalized and the nearest profile available is 70.
If we take a theorical tire with a profile of 71.25:
The theorical tire size should be 205/71 R15.
If we look for a real tire size, we should look for a tire with a diameter nearest to 26.5'' and a profile of 70.
The best option for real tire size is: Tire 225/70 R14 (wheel diameter of 26.4'') or 205/70 R15 (wheel diameter of 26.3'').
