RE: Tires
again, at the risk of sounding like an idiot,,, ive always wondered what those numbers mean, like, p215/70r-14's,,, what in the world is that? I can kinda figure some of it out, but most is like an alien language to me.

RE: Tires
The 215 is the width measured in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall. the 70 Is a ratio of the sidewall height and width. 215 x 0.70 = 150.5 millimeters. thats the height of one sidewall. The 14 inch rim converts to 355.6 millimeters. 355.6 + 150.5 + 150.5 = 656.6 millimeters or 25.85 inches is the overall tire height.

I have been in the automotive service industry for 13 yrs. now and have argued with alot of people, including some on this forum, over what these numbers mean. I finaly find someone who actually has it right, Thank you so much Sick, you have made my day. I feel vindicated [sm=happy046.gif]
