I hadn't even thought about tire sizes... and leave 'our' 50hz alone haha, out of interest though this is from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) "There is speculation that the value of 50 Hz was chosen in Europe as being an element in the metric “Series of Preferred Numbers,” proposed by the French army engineer Charles Renard in the 1870s. Indeed, the R10 series, consisting of the following rounded values 10, 12.5, 16, 20, 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100...See so we went with metric way back! Now to go and grab my 'yard stick'
"So you know, we are in the 21st century. At least most of us. :)" That's why I said 20th century!
