If 75 is the circumfrance in inches, then the height or dia of the tire would be 23.8732414637843" tall.

Check this sites and compare. You can enter 14"---15", 70-75-60-50 and get the sizes

The 75 is not the circumference, but the sidewall height multiplier or profile. 225 centimeters divided by 25.4 = 8.86 inches. 8.86 X .75 = 6.65" sidewall height. 6.65 X 2 = 13.3". 13.3 + 14(rim size)=27.3 " total height.
