OUCH!

In spite of perhaps using less than precise or exacting terminology, I think most of us understand what Dom was trying to get at. And, he brings a valid point: whatever conclusions or direction this thread makes or takes, tire diameter variances introduced by those that have other than the "normal" tire sizes need to be considered. (OK, he only mentions wheels, but we know what he's implying, I believe.)

Just sayin....
