Message	Come on now Milo..I told you this all yesturday. The reason that the number is larger in the front than in the rear is b/c that number is a percentage of the width, so since the tires in the front are smaller in width, they want the sidewall to be 5% more of the width of the tire to "compensate" for the difference it would make if both front and rear had the same number. For example, a 245/35 tire is 245 mm wide and the sidewall is 35% the size of the width of the tire. So the sideall is in at about 86mm tall. Get it? Please say yes dude.....
