They rode the bike in and I pulled the wheels. I also have these tires on my Savage.

Clearush, I put your numbers into the original spreadsheet.  

You tickled me, not having any Excel available to you -- I keep saying the young people can live jest fine off of Google and a hand held and Microsoft is jest doomed eventually to die off into dodo style extinction.

Most of us old codgers don't use Google, we have what we bought when we were working puppies and that's pretty durn OLD now.

I use Open Office and Linux now and I will point out to you that Open Office is totally no cost free too -- and it allows you to talk to the old fossils in prehistoric stone clickty talk jest fine ....  

.... and I betcha you can open the old style Excel spreadsheet with Google and put it back in Excel format using Google too.  Open Office shure can.

You see, we upgraded from Lotus smoke signals to Excel rock clicks about what 25 years ago, so you know we really do try to stay current around here.

The spreadsheet works in whole thousandths, no decimal place needed.

I will translate these numbers and when you go back to update put the mickymeters into this and turn them into thousandths.

Here is a tool to use to make the conversion.   Remember, 0.225" is really 225 thousandths and the spreadsheet counts the thousandths as 225 thousandths, not a decimal number.



Well, I tried to fix your entry but you must not have clicked File>Save when you were done punching.  ..... ain't got any data to correct.

I'll be glad to tell you my cost per mile on my tires. I wrote down the mileage last year when they were installed. (At different times) Trouble is I was ill most of the winter and until now didn't ride like I used to. Also, tread depth is usually measured in 32nd's of an inch with 2/32 considered worn out by law. I figure I'll forget this post by the time I wear out my tires. Metzeler has now come out with a new tire. I imagine it is superior to the 880s, but I'm happy with mine now. Fact is, you twist the throttle a bunch you get less gas mileage, tire mileage, piston mileage, etc. It's hard to have a tire war, because we all ride differently and when I sold CAR tires a competitor had to recall several tires because something called carbon black was shorted in a batch of tires causing a "good" set to get around 10,000 miles.
