Default funny as hell tire size information

ok I was at a junkyard the other day and this young mechanically challenged chick ( a customer ) comes out from the back and asks the guy at the counter what the difference in a 65 and a 60 is? she states that there are 2 tires in the back that are the same except one is a 60 and one is a 65 ( as in 195-60-16 ). the guy at the counter says "oh not much, you'll be fine with one 60 and one 65".

now I am holding in my astonishment at this point: 1. because this guy is trying to make a buck. 2. if your at a junkyard and are not a diy'er then your in the wrong place. and 3. I hadn't gotten a price for my item and I didn't want to pay for the difference in price on the lost sale he would have had with her.

I can only imagine how fast those tires are gonna wear out.

whats your input on running different overall diameter tires.
