My mistake Jim, I guess I was thinking bug tires, and the numbers should be
6.00-15, as those are the bias ply tire size. I was just thinking that Greg
might have a little more luck finding tire chains in a US tire size versus
the metric size. I was told by a tire dealer that usually when tires don't
have an aspect ratio, then the assumed ratio is 80. This kinda makes sense as
if you order xxx/75/15 tires you already know what the aspect ratio is. And
most tire companies will list a 75 or lower ratio tire, but not a higher than
75 ratio tire. I hope this helps clarifying things.
