tires

["Walt Philipson" <wphilipson@bigfoot.com>]

Thanks for all the tire responses. What it all comes down to is that the
original tires (tyres?) are 185-15. Those tires are a 78 series tire, i.e.
185/78-15. This gives a sidewall height of 144mm (.78 x 185) This is the
same as a 205/70-15 (.7 x 205 = 144). Since the sidewall height is the same,
the diameter is the same. So you get a tire that is nominally 20 mm wider
and the same height. Since my car is a driver not a show car, I think I'll
save the money and skip the red lines. cheap cheap :)

Thanks again

Walt
