Side-by-Side Tire Visualizer

This visualizer works by drawing 2 tires next to each other at the same scale and listing their dimensions under the drawing. It shows the size difference at a glance.

1. Enter Tire 1, for example 225/45R17.
2. Enter Tire 2, for example 245/40R18.
3. View both tires drawn to scale, standing on a common ground line.
4. Read the difference for each dimension in the table below.

The formula scales each drawing by Pixels = Dimension × Scale, using the same scale for both tires.

Worked example: on a 400 px canvas, a 25.72 in tire draws 400 px tall and a 24.97 in tire draws 388 px tall.

The conversion table shows the 6 values displayed for a 225/45R17 and 245/40R18 pair. The 245/40R18 is 0.74 in taller and 20 mm wider, with a 0.13 in shorter sidewall.

The rim row shows the 1 in increase. The sidewall row shows how the larger rim and lower profile combine.

The Side-by-Side Tire Visualizer is a tool that displays two tire sizes next to each other at a common scale. It turns numbers into a picture.

Seeing the sizes together makes sidewall height and rim size changes clear to buyers who do not work with tire math.

This visualizer has 4 uses: customer explanations, plus-size previews, social sharing and teaching.

• Explain to customers: Show the change on a screen.
• Preview plus sizes: See sidewall loss before buying.
• Share builds: Post a scale image of a planned upgrade.
• Teach sizing: Show how size codes become shapes.
