random tire thought....

if you go to tirerack.com and look up a specific tire, then click on specs, you get information for the same tire in difference sizes.
on the far right is a column that indicates the number of revolutions per mile.
my thought, less revolutions per mile, the longer the same tire should last, correct? of course, everything else being the same (total mileage, same driver, car, driving style, etc.)
i am looking at overall diameter now instead of specific sizes as i found that 205/45/16 (never had any rubbing, but) did not fill out the wheel well correctly on my 90 900; and the car is lowered. if i go with a 205/50/16, i gain 0.8" of diameter and 30 less revolutions per mile. big difference in total tire life? maybe not, but i wonder how much a difference in general. at least it will look better....:)
