Effects of Rings: Tides

+0
−0

In my earth-like world, there is one thing that separates it from Earth; this world has a single rocky ring, around 10.3 meters thick, 5(ish) miles wide.

In our own world we know that without an orbiting body a world will lack tides. Our own moon creates tides despite being over 380 000 kilometres and we have asked what having two moons would do to tides, but we have not asked what having rings would do to a world in terms of tides. So what would the effects of rings be on tides?
