Cool site.
Edit: Follow on question. When inputting the tire height to a superchips, is it the as-measured (tape measure) or use something like this site I provided?

Fixed that typo. You are correct. That is due to how the P-metric sizing works. The first number is the width and the 2nd number is the percentage for the sidewall height.
