Just like I said, I just used an easier way to explain it......Pete04222 said:Put the measuring tape away. The height is written on the side of the tire (Did I mention that I used to work for Goodyear?). The stock tire is 205/70-14, the tread is 205mm wide and the height is 70% of that, 143.5mm or 5.65" tall. Double that and add the rim and you get a height of 25.3"
Very wrong. You def have to look at the speedo to see how fast you've accelerated past the grandpa! :green:Pete04222 said:Plus the only time you really look at a speedometer is if you see a cop or if you want to see exactly how slow the idiot in front of you is going. "Look at this!! The speed limit is 45 and this idiot is doing 40!!" When you pass him you don't look at the speedometer anymore. Am I right?
No.... It's not just like you said. I gave him the answer. You've got him out there in the driveway with a flashlight and a tape measure, all bent over with his tongue hanging out to the side, one eye squinting and trying to determine if the tire is 24 3/4" tall or 25 1/4" tall. I've already told him it's 25.3" tall and exactly what size 16" tires he needs so he doesn't even need to leave his computer before he clicks on tirerack.com to order them.magnum6464 said:Just like I said, I just used an easier way to explain it......
Smart ass ! :green:
Well, my 308 is a '79 so the speedo only goes up to 85mph. I have to rely on the police radar to verify my actual speed. :green:FunkyJunc said:Very wrong. You def have to look at the speedo to see how fast you've accelerated past the grandpa! :green:

Smart ass yourself! :wink:
Well, the stock tire size is just a few mouse clicks away. Refer to the quote from Bart in my signature.magnum6464 said:Well Pete, I didn't use real measures, I used example dimensions to just explain the thought process and not for him to go and buy tires on the spot. He didn't even give tire size for me to calculate. So I gave an example....
And yes it is like I said ! :wink: :roll: :green:
I know Pete, im getting to know you by now :green:Pete04222 said:If Lou is like me, when he posts a question, He wants Answers Damn It! Not examples!!!
I think he just needs to put down the beer and step away from the computer.)
Magnum, just messing with you, I think maybe it's me that needs to put down the beer and step away from the computer. Well, maybe one more and then I'll go to bed. :green: :green: :green:
