I know nothing about tires (and had forgotten that we spell it tyre here in the UK), but I do know that a lot of people mix imperial and decimal measurements. Do you account for that, is it not an issue with tires, or should you add in a either a unit of measurement or the ability to enter measurements in multiple units?

It would be pretty neat if you could figure out ahead of time which combinations were possible, disabling buttons for impossible combinations and reserving the "Size not found, please try again" message for weird exceptions where your index is out of date.

yep, i need to sort that, thanks

Browsed with Windows Phone 7.8 I found it intuitive and easy to use. The interface reflects the the data domain it represents rather than glomming the data onto a generic shopping solution.

2 things: 1. Care to post a default so it's possible to explore? Couldn't figure out a working combination. 2. When you hit an error, would be helpful if you kept the previous selection prefilled (either via AJAX request or passing along the previous selection in the URL).

sorry about that, I have put a default on the page
