<VV> Spring change a success!

Hey Cuz...

In regards to tire size... I remember reading somewhere that when you
go from an 80 size tire to a 70 size, you should increase the other
number by 20.  Therefore to go from a 185x80R13 to a 70R13 you need
to get a 205x70R13.  That will keep the height pretty close to the
same as the 185 tire.  I have not had a chance to compare two tires
in those sizes side by side, so this info may be a little off.  I
hope those on the list with more tire knowledge will chime in here
and give us the straight skinny.  (Letting my age show with that last
comment).  The tire clown may not have had much tire knowledge.

Any way... I too am parked in a chair waiting for the weather to warm
up so I can get outside and work on my Corvairs... and the Jeep too.

With kindest regards,
Andy Anderson

The road to a friend's house is never long.
