Bob,

Thanks for the new tire size site, and the Thesis on "What and Why is a
Radius Rolling"

There is also:

<http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi>

Which will compare any tire spec you have to any other. If you put your
current one first, it will show the percent change for all other
selections.

As to the effect of speed on tire size, I can tell you that my '54
Jaguar XK120M owner's manual had a section on Speedometer Correction at
higher speeds. Had a little table that should indicated vs actual based
upon tire growth.

Anyone watching a top end drag race will actually see the tire diameter
increase significantly when the take off.
