Drumnut,
That's it exactly.
To be honest I "borrowed" the O-ring reference from a previous issue of Motor Trend when they did a road test of the then-new Saleen S351R Mustang. They referred to the massive Michelins with their decidedly low profile sidewall as being "O-rings" wrapped around the 18-inch Speedline wheels.
So, in other words Ms. Kitty, I was merely teasing you with a humorous rhetorical question. No offense intended.
