About the tires, maybe some people do it that way. That is just what I was told as a standard.

I don't know a whole lot about brifter placement. The rule of thumb for old levers was that if you put a straight edge on the bottoms of the drops the tip of the lever should be touching. I think I read that brifters are placed opposite of that though, but I have no clue.
