Re: Tire Size Conversion Tables Needed...or just an answer!

[KSiroonian@xxxxxxx]

Great info, andrew. I have to get new tires for my 75pacer X, originally came with goodyear dr78-14 RWL tires,  polysteel I think. It could also have had the dr70-14. I have been running regular whitewall 195-75-14. Want to get it back to stock. I was told the replacment tire would be a 205-70-14, though it sounds big to me. any ideas for easier cleaning/polishing the cast aluminum wheels/volcano caps- they are grimy and dungy and dull, I have tried the usual hand polishing but with 4 to do, might take into the next decade. anyway, here are some web sites I have saved for tire size info, hope it helps anyone. 
regards, AMC ken/boston.
