Pancho,

You have not proved your "facts". A few people have proven 215/55R16 is supposed to be and by manufacturer measurements is taller. We have done this by math, by the definition of tire sizes. You are the only one that believes 225/50 is taller. Since you have access to the two tire sizes in the same model, please show us a picture to prove it as Tony suggested. BTW, 225/55 is taller than 215/55 and 225/50. Just in case anyone has confused you.

You just don't get it. It isn't because Luke, or Tirerack, or some book said something so we hold it as gospel. We relied on many sources that all point to the same thing. If for some reason all theouse sources are wrong, I'd like to be the first to know.

In reply to:

I don't like when people base their facts on what other people say about the tires they put on their vehicle.


But you are asking us to do the same with you? Why should we trust you? Just because you install tires every day on many cars? Like I told you in a PM, I have met many tire installers and salespeople that have not known very much in terms of what products they are actually putting on their vehicles. You are just another.

Did you even pay attention to what I said about only SVT Contours having 16" OEM rims? All others are 15" wheels with 205/60R15 tires. I wonder if you have ever installed tires on an SVT Contour. More likely that you use 215/55R15 on OEM 15" Contours & Mystiques. How many customers with aftermarket 16" rims come into your shop on a yearly basis and how many SVT Contours?

In reply to:

I don't see Luke saying anything about "from experience" You can throw all the numbers you want Luke, you will still be wrong, and I can write your district mannager and make you see, thru court, I AM RIGHT. DO NOT MISSINFORM YOUR CUSTOMERS OR YOU WILL BE PUBLICLY EMBARRASED. Use all the sweet talk you want that has helped you suck money out of loyal Contour/Mystique owners, but you ain't telling the truth.


Hmm, who is the one that is publicly embarrased? You are doing a fine job of it yourself.

BTW, if you'd like to keep sending my those lovely private messages, I can start making them public and some people might find them humorous. I do. Quit sending me messages with excessive use of profanity and threats of personal injury! I'm sure they would be enough to ban you if I really cared enough. But I don't. You have a lot of experience that I'm sure many people would benefit from. Just don't get so upset with people you don't even know over something as little as a marginal tires size difference.
