I believe you're right, except that the default is more like 80. 70 series 
tires were the first of the "wide oval" tires; they are lower profile than the 
default..

I suspect that the default varied from manufacturer to manufacturer and from 
tire model to model, but I think they were generally in the 80-84 range.
