Ahh.. but did you add the VAT
According to my physio.. I must really be 26... she keeps shouting at me ' Mal.. slow down you're not 25 anymore '

Can anyone tell me what the numbers some of you have referred to are all about? (eg 145/80)
Ta.

145 = mm wide tread
80 = Aspect ratio = (in English) Side wall height is 80% of first number
A tyre without any number after the first (ie 145) is assumed to be aspect ratio of 80
So 145 s 14
is the same as
145/80 s 14
s = speed rating but I can't remember all the numbers (s is about 112mph)
