there can be quite a discrepency in circumference of two identical tyres out of the same mould !
Dunlop had the contract to supply Formula Ford Australia with tyres in '94-'95, and the Dunlop blokes used to run the stagger tape around them and match them up in pairs for fitting (and write the numbers on them) as there were huge differences in diameter.
Avon, who had the contract prior to, and after, were much better in this regard (and a massively better tyre into the bargain, but that's another story)
