lambert:
ok to further muddy the water on this, where is the width of a tyre measured? cos when i layed a 205 on a 6 inch rim on the floor next to one of my 750's on a 5.5 rim the overall difference in width was minimal in favour of the 205 yet the tread on the 750 is a lot narrower, so how does that effect things? ie is it overall width or tread width that is measured?
clbarclay:
For a start the sidewall dimensions are just nominal figures and IIRC should apply to the carcus of the tyre, not the contact patch. Quite a few manufactures produce size tables for theire tyres which list the nominal size as well as more accurate figures for diameter, width at widest point (on a specified rim width), tread width etc.

If it's marked M&S does it have the St. Michael mark on it somewhere too? :afro:
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Of course. thank the lord that Ann Summers didn't market it!
