I've made up a quick tyre size calculator in excel, this will calculate the difference in percentage of two different tyres in the "(width)/(profile) R(rimsize)" form, ie. 155/70 R12.

It will also give a speed error estimate at typical road speeds. I previously used the calculator on "the car maintenance bibles" website, but figure its more handy to have a spreadsheet locally.

You can find it here.

I think the standard tyre size for a mightyboy should be 145/70 R12
