Kai (Kay?) - Think I've figured out what "load radius" means now. You have to understand, I just got back from trekking to Cocoa Beach, FL with 6 gals, ages 13-21, and it-just-so-happened that there was an AAU baseball tournament going on in Melbourne for 15-17 yo BOYS!!! The beach motel was overloaded with these gorillas and, don't get me wrong - they were basically NICE gorillas, but, still, they were GORILLAS! After receiving your note, I went out and measured the "load radius" (from ground level to the center of the wheel and came up with 12", front & rear. Guess my speedo is now about 4% off? I'm curious, though, about your "Diameter = 25.8". Was that measured or calculated from the "xxxR/xx14" stuff? IF I read the Bentley correctly, if one turns the speedo-thingy 805 times, one ends up with an accurate mile. BOB - WA4RRN
