Herb, pictures and everything. Thanks Someone know how to use the internet.

Section Width      The linear distance between the outside of the sidewalls of an inflated tire without      any load on it (this does not include any sidewall decorations). Section Height      This is also known as the Aspect Ratio. This is figured on a percentage of the section      width. A tire size of 205/60R15 would have a section width of 205 millimeters and a      section height of 60 percent of 205 millimeters.             cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES #3509 http://web.tampabay.rr.com/herbsworld/index.htm
