Carbible suggests 1840.97 for the 15 against 1895.01 for the 13.

That's 2.94% bigger!

Hi if you are after accurate info best to measure an actual fitted tyre.

Almost all of the info thats out there is out by up to 40 mm per revolution in some cases. Also different manufacturers of tyre differ greatly. Means you can end up in a right mess if your looking for a definitive way to jump on the gearing.
