Difficulty Level: 1
Difficulty scale: Adding air to your tires is level one
Rebuilding a BMW Motor is level ten

     This article is the one in a series that will be released in conjunction with Wayne's upcoming book, 101 Projects for Your BMW 3-Series.  The book will be 256 pages of full color projects detailing everything from performance mods to timing the camshafts.   With more than 350+ full-color glossy photos accompanying extensive step-by-step procedures, this book should be a staple in any 3-Series owner's collection.  See The Official Book Website for more details.  The book is due out in October 2005.  
  Download the following spreadsheet, plug in your tire sizes, and the spreadsheet will calculate the approximate physical dimensions of the tire.

chefmikeComments: Back in my day growing up with my 69 chevelle, tire sizes were , 50's,, 60's ,, 70's. 50's were widest and 70's were the slimest. of course i had 60's on the rear and 70's on the front cause 50's were just too wide. It will be good to know what all the numbers and letters show us about one of the most important things that keep us safe!!! Thanks, Michael P.
