Hey Paul,



Try this.



How To Read A Sidewall:





P-Metric (example 1) P215/65R15



P = Passenger Car

215 = Section width measured in millimeters (25.4 millimetes per inch)

65 = Aspect Ratio, which means the sidewall height is 65 percent of the section width.

R = Radial Carcass Construction

15 = Rim Diameter





So with the info above, the 175 is wider than the 155. The second set of numbers on your tire will determine height.



Hope this helps
