<VV> New "stock" tires for LM's

[Hugo Miller]

The SR will be a speed rating. I've never seen anything but bias ply in 
inches and radials in mm - but that is in England of course. And the 
diameter is always in inches, with one specific exception and I can't 
remember what that was now. 6.40 x 13 has to be a very unusual size. 
6.40 x 15 was common at one time - again in the UK - but I've never seen 
a 6.40 tire with a smaller diameter than that.
