Does anyone know what the aspect ratio of numerical tires (like 600-13) is? I think it is 82. Thanx. Tom

For those of you who have been looking for "proper" tire sizes:
I just received an order of tires from Coker Tire in Chattanooga, Tn.
The guy I spoke with there was named Steve, and he was very helpful. I
wanted to find an original period style tire that wasn't a bias ply and
wasn't expensive. He recommended an off brand called Klebear. It is an
exact repro of the classic Michelin 'X' radial with out the name. Price
$41.00ea.
I haven't yet mounted them on the wire wheels yet, but they look very
good. Definately the correct height I was looking for. If anyone is
interested, I will give a full report once they have been road tested.
They will also be available for inspection at Tiger Tom's bash. See ya
there!
