I also have one at http://horton.iaces.com/~proot/tire.html
It's pretty extensive, and I already have the stock 165/80 size plugged
in. You probably have to change the size of the new tire before the data
comes out.
I also don't have an accurate offset. Not sure what it is for Rostyles.
I'm thinking I'll be getting the Dunlops for my Nissan in the next week
or so. They don't apparently have 185/70-14s though. That size seems to
be falling out with manufacturers. Makes me think of going to the 15in
minitars, if I ever replace the wheels. 195/65-15 seem more available
even if it means rolling the fenders.
