I though not but after several years dealing with people buying tires,
batteries, etc., I am amazed at the lack of knowledge possessed by many
drivers (I use that term very loosely)...Furthermore, it is not just the
distaff population either...So one can never be certain without
asking....However, in this group, the uninitiate show up quickly and I
didn't place you in that category...Good'un on you.

I worked for a few months after high school selling VWs in the early 90s.
The majority of the dealership staff, sales *and* service, knew next to

was buying new tires, that the "/65" after the tread width was the sidewall
