I just noticed that I have 60 profile tyres on the front and 55 profile on the rears.
I know that the profile value is a percentage of (something) and the width of the rears are more than the fronts.
So, is the different profile tyres to be expected?
Such is the power of my mind, everyone who reads this question will rush out to check their own cars....
Profile different on front and rear tyres?
The 'profile' is the depth/thickness of the rubber tyre (outside of the wheel) expressed as a % of tyre width. Hence 55% of the rear tyre's width should be very close to 60% of the front tyre width, assuming front and rear tyres have equal rolling radius.Pete wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:58 pm I just noticed that I have 60 profile tyres on the front and 55 profile on the rears.

Probably the same, just rounding makes the numbers slightly out. Profiles are always quoted in 5s I believe.
