haha.. yes your right i was thinking of circles which makes the whole tyre 24mm bigger than 60 profile. the larger profile will make for better stability at speed in straight lines and less twitchy on corners at the expense of more weight and slower turn in. tbh most folk wont tell the difference between a 60 or a 70 profile at normal speeds.
