*walks out to the '78 to check* 175SR14 is the recommended size. That is has aspect ratio of 82, according to this site: http://www.barrystiretech.com/tiresizing.html Therefore it's unloaded circumference is 2018.79 mm. Compared to a 205/70R14 which has an unloaded circumference of 2018.79 mm. Hah! So much for what I though I knew!! Exactly the same! Now, that's not a rolling circumference, but that can vary from tire to tire. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
