Ya know, I had always thought the default was 90%, but 82 makes 
much more sense. Long ago I had a pair of Michelin X M+S88 165 
snow tires which were 88% profile. They were great in the snow, 
but they always made the car seem tippy and topheavy, so they 
were a mixed blessing. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
