I have never understood the height vs width business. In general as you increase the cross section of a car or truck tire the height increases. I put 235-75R-15's on a 6 cylinder Chevy pickup that came from the factory with 205 75R 15's on it -- killed what little acceleration it had because of the larger tires, along with a major speedometer error. As to the 15.5, perhaps what you say is true. The 15.5 had no whole inch predecessor, so perhaps is a different design than the whole inch tires. I notice that the modern size for the 15-38 is 18.4-38, surely that is taller than a 15.5 or a 14.9??
