It something like this : 265 is the tread width and the 70 is the height percentage of the 265 therfore:
265 * .70 = 185.5 mm sidewall
235 * .75 = 176.25 mm sidewall

I run 235 75 kuhmos on my 99 SE, the stock 265 70 dunlops handled like crap. I think they were too wide for the weight of the car. My speedo is less than 3 mph off. If you have a handheld gps its easy to check.
