YES, 315 wide tires are the same as 35” tires although 315 is the tread width in millimeters and 35″ is the tire diameter. 315/70/17 is usually the accepted metric equivalent size for standard/imperial 35-inch tires.
What is the difference between a 315 70R17 and a 35X12 5r17?
Registered. The difference is the 35x12. 50-17 is E rated and the 315/70-17 is D rated. They are essentially the same size tires but I guess using the standard floatation size for one and the P metric size for the other makes it easier to differentiate between the two.What size is a 315 inch tire?
