I think the reason I ask is for a starting point. I use a pyrometer to
narrow it in, but on these tires the range specified by the manufacturer is
significantly different than my previous tires. I figured since a lot of us
drive TR4s they should all be reasonably close as a starting point.
 Likewise if I were in a country that measured their pants in mm or by some
size instead of waist and length, I would probably ask a guy who was similar
in size to myself what size pants he was wearing!
