The 185HR15 will be quite a bit taller than the 185/65.

The number after the slash =E2=80=9C65=E2=80=9D when present, indicates the=
 ratio of sidewall height to tread width, in percent.  So for 185/65, the s=
idewall is only 65% as tall as the tread is wide, meaning roughly 120mm hig=
h.

When the second number is not present, the ratio is usually in the region o=
f 80%, meaning the 185HR would be around 144mm high.  Almost an inch taller=
 (ride height) than the 185/65.

All very approximate, and can vary somewhat from tire maker to tire maker o=
r even tire model to tire model.

In case you=E2=80=99re wondering, the =E2=80=98H=E2=80=99 is a speed rating=
, meaning the tire should be able to sustain speeds of 130 mph (when loaded=
 within the limits given elsewhere on the tire).  =E2=80=98R=E2=80=99 indic=
ates radial tire construction.

What=E2=80=A6if any =E2=80=A6 is the difference of 185HR-15  =E2=80=A6 and =
185/65/15=E2=80=A6??


Thanks, not trying to start a war=E2=80=A6=F0=9F=98=89
