Metric is far superior .. easier... faster.. and more accurate. I have been building and dealing with measurements all of my life , thank the lord it has been in metric....

cookie47 2,022 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 There's still one industry that can't make up its mind.Tyre manufacturers.Imperial. 640 x15 =6.4 inches x15 inches diameter... Metric. 205 x70 x16.=205mm x 70% (aspec ratio) but the diameter still in bloooooy inches.. But of course if your in America my understanding is that particularly in an off road environment you use 30/31/32.etc inches to describe Tyres Which is...... ( now somewhat used in Australia within the 4wd fraternity) Even though we are metric... But I think these Tyres come from a nonmetric country??.

Same thing though. 1 liter of water doesn't weigh 1Kg. Link to post Share on other sites
