ok i got so bored that i decided to read this thread.
it looks like every one has made a good point.
i just wanted to add that when the computer sees that the speed sensors are out of there limits then the computer will set a code and the abs might not work after the code.
once you sign a waiver if you get in a wreck and they find out about the waiver you could be screwed.

Aw *** no. On topic, WTF?
I think you're forgetting about contact patch and finding the right pressure and going really fast through the twisties. And what about poor Hanso wetting himself?

 

[HansO]

and dont forget you getting your knickers in a twist

Hey @nolton , nothing to say? You asked the question.

I will ask my serious question when your not in a combative frame of mind, mate.

My reply was of no help to you then?

I am Truly Sorry Nolton, if I got Richard stirred up but I was actually just answering Wrecka's question when challenged by Steve after that when Richard got on his soap box I saw the opportunity to pull Richard's chain and he flushed magnificently much to my amusement

@nolton
Any tire is designated by cross section length, sidewall aspect ratio (percentage) and mounting diameter. A Stone Excedra Max is 240/55R16 means 240mm cross section width - the 55 is the sidewall aspect ratio (55%) - the "R" is radial - the 16 is wheel diameter in inches. Go figure this! Inches and millimeters used together?! WTF???

If you multiply the section width value by the sidewall aspect ratio you get the sidewall height. So, 240 X .55 = 132 mm 132 mm X .03937 (conversion factor for mm to inches) = 5.2 inches.

Now since there are two sidewalls in the total wheel diameter take 5.2 X 2 = 10.4 inches. Add this to the 16 inch diameter and you have a 26.4 inch total diameter.

Let's compare to a stock Metz 240/50R16. 240 X .50 = 120 mm. 120 X .03937 = 4.72 inches X2 = 9.45 inches + 16 = 25.45 inches total diameter or .95 inch smaller in diameter than the Stone.

Calculating a car tire is the same. 225/50R16 would be 225 X .50 = 112.5 mm X .03937 = 4.43 inches X 2 = 8.86 inches + 16 = 24.86 inches total diameter.

Hope this helps and I didn't screw up any math.
