I think you'll find it's the other way around.

215*0.40 = 86
205*0.50 = 102.5

205*0.45 = 92.25

Good demo on how effective they where IMO.


did they show you tyre pressures and wheel alignments too :?:
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.
