Does anyone know if 245x50x20 tires would be about the same diameter as 245x60x18?
Here's the scene: Our Lincoln MKX has the low profile 20" wheels and tires. I'm getting fed up with them. The insides of the wheels are flat and don't allow snow, ice, dirt, etc. to sling off while they're spinning or drain off when they're stopped. The junk just slides to the bottom of the wheel and creates a lump that throws the wheel out of balance.
I made a wand on a garden hose with a 90 degree fitting on the end to reach between the spokes and wash the insides of the wheels out, but that even isn't always fully effective.
MKX's also had an 18" wheel that has a slope in the rim that would allow junk to sling off while spinning, and run off when stopped.
I just put $700 worth of new Cooper tires on the thing last fall, but--per the Internet, salvage yards sell the 18" wheels for about half of what the 20 inchers go for. If I knew it would solve the problem, I'd consider going to the 18" wheels. I'd think I could at least break even on the deal. Plus the vehicle might even ride a bit nicer.
I know, those low profile tires are all the rage, but engineers and people who promote them must not realize that vehicles ARE driven under conditions other than dry pavement.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
