Does this illustrate your point on how sizes are quoted differently, but overall the same info? As I take it the Dunlop tyre spec is quoting: Width/Tyre_dia-Construction-Wheel_dia While the Bridgestone is quoted as: Width/Aspect_ratio-Construction-Wheel_dia > Slicks come in different sizing depending on what are used for and which > country you live in.
