anybody have a web page or link to a tire site that has tire sizes that has the height of the tire?
The problem i'm having is i'm scrapping my trans pan on speed bumps. need to get it the car up alittle.
I have 195/60/14 front ( 23"tall) and P235/75/15 rear (28"tall)

That "'33" site is great and after reading the drive shaft article and soaking in the part about "built in" torisional vibration, my steel trap mind (im not telling where that came from..) started wondering if dampers similar to that on the front of the engine wouldn't also work on thee drive shaft. The only draw back I can think of is the added flywheel effect it would have but I can't help but wonder if it would remove some of the inherent problems called out in the article. Mounting could be as simple as the shaft mounted parking brake. Am I trying to reinvent the wheel??
I know there are those that say if properly installed, it's a no problem but these are problems that exist even with balancing but you have to read the article and make yur own determination...Fred P

Rick,
Go to your nearest BF Goodrich dealer. They have a neat little booklet (orange in color) that has all there tires and sizes, heights, widths etc for free. Keep one on hand. Their a quick reference guide.
