Default Re: article on tyre tread patterns

Originally written by David Doyle
As an example, a 9.00-20 (commonly referred to as a "nine hundred twenty) tire, fits a twenty inch diameter rim that is nine inches wide at the bead seat.
Actually, the 9.00 in this case denotes the nominal cross-section width of the tyre, not the width at the bead seat. As an example, the 9.00-16 tyres fitted to many CMP trucks are fitted on 6.00-16 wheels.
