    i replaced a tire once (blowout) of a diff. brand but same size and it was almost an inch shorter..didn't know this untill i took it in to get it aligned...the guy said that is why it was pulling to the right...frank...:bouncy:

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    ditto... each tire brand makes their own sizes and they all vary.. its best to check them out on thier own.. however this charts gives a very good idea on what to use!

    thanks fan2488 for sharing it and taking to time to scan it! (y)

    The website www.tirerack.com also gives some good specs on different brands of tires you just have to know how to get to them.

    Once on the home page
    Select Products from the selection, then select tires, then select a brand on the right, choose a brand then a specific tire model, after choosing a type of tire choose specs and you will get a whole list of specs for all sizes of that particular brand/model of tire. You never have to choose a type of car or size of tire if you go in this way, therefore you see all specs.
