(e.g. P185/70R13 has an aspect ratio of 70% of 185mm....or 129.5mm.). Lower apect ratios confer a stiffer ride and increased control than a similar sized tire with a larger aspect ratio. But larger aspect ratios tend to be more absorbant and add to a smooth road ride.

Since nobody else will explain tire sizing to you, here we go! ... First number (195 or 205) is the overall width of the tire, not the tread width. ... As a tire gets a lower aspect ratio, the tread gets wider, so a 195/60 will have a wider tread than a 195/70.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Henry B's/Sagamore Grill, I have no idea how large the kitchen at Rochester's newest upscale Italian restaurant might be, but the grill alone must be massive, the range must have 20 burners, and the ovens are probably large enough to double as hangars for small airplanes. ...
