I saw the Azenis in action this past weekend..great tire for the money.
3/4"!!!! crap that's 20mm. so the 205/50/15 is more like 225/50/15?
that doesn't sound right. also contact patches are oval. so you can't say it's 3/4" wider contact patch. contact patch is just that the surface area of the tire that is on contact with the road.
