Default What size thong do YOU wear?

We were talking tyres tonight and came to the conclusion that shoes should offer the same amount of information on their sidewalls...

Consider this thread a "you know you're a car nut when..." variant - and one that I awoke regretting. For the doubtless hundreds interested in the math, the thongs are 135mm wide at the tread. The height of the rubber wall is 27mm making a width to height ratio 20. Rollin naturally suggested the maximum speed rating of ZR and the diameter of the thong is the circumference (length=310mm) / 2pi = approx 50mm or approx 4".

In Burma, they make thongs out of old tyres - they call them "1000 milers", because that's apparently how far you can walk on a pair.

I think someone should make this happen.

The number of times I've stacked it in these thongs, I'm going to do it to the pictured pair. Are retreads legal or will I have to stay off the road when wearing them?
