The 80 or 85 numbers are the Aspect Ratio.



The aspect ratio is a percentage. It’s the height of the sidewall measured from wheel rim to top of the tread, expressed as a percentage of tire width. In other words, it’s sidewall height divided by tire width.


If you have tires with an 85 aspect ratio then they are not the original tires. Montana used 235/80 LT tires in 2002.
