    A few years ago I ordered 8 tires online... 285/75/24.5.....

    I ordered when I was on the road, I got home and they were tall rubber tires when I needed low profile tires.

    The size on my tires in 285/75r/24.5.....

    is that size low pro..... or is the 11r low pro? Im just trying to make sure I dont make the same mistake again.

    So 11r 24.5 is tall rubber? I know my 285/75r/24.5 are lo pros but, just making sure how people list them without the lo pro or tall rubber listed.

    11 is tall.

    Numbers is small.

    In the end. You have 24.5 inch tires. So either will work.
