Ayup, I'll agree with that.  I like a nice IPA on days like that.  
Anyway, asking questions before you buy is good.  Wasting money on the 
wrong tires is, well, kinda dumb.

Personally, I liked the answer that the 205/75-14 was a real good match 
to the stock tire, and was actually compared to a stock tire.  Now, I 
have no intention of buying any 205/75-14s.

So why would I care?

Well, I'm glad you asked.  See, now I can punch that size into a tire 
diameter calculator and get a nice range of sizes.  It's also worth 
mentioning that the swing axles on the FCs don't really like superwide 
tires, and in a 14" rim that fits on the trucks, 225 is about the 
maximum width in the rear.

So, there ya go.

BTW, my keyboard has this button at the top right.  It says 
"d-e-l-e-t-e".  <Edward G. Robinson voice>It makes messages you don't

fetch a beer (c.f. above to IPA).
