Pete M Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Are we all measuring the height of tires (that are mounted on a rig) from the ground to the top? :hmm: Or are we measuring from the front of the tire to the rear of the tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 would an unmounted tire sitting on the floor have a greater diameter than a tire thats mounted, and on the vehicle? maybe thats how they measure their tires :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 If you're measuring from the ground, a vehicle's weight would knock off an inch or 2 off the tire's diameter. If you measure from the front of the tire to the back of the tire, you should be real close to that of a tire just lying on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be measuring them front to back. You get a more accurate measurement. If you measure them top to bottom, weight of the rig and how much air pressure is in them becomes a big factor then.

feerocknok Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 The manufacturer's numbers aren't going to be while on a vehicle, because would they measure on a Samurai or a Super Duty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i was just posting accurate sizes for what to expect mounted on a vehicle of similar weight and size (both xj's) to an mj. so my 33's would be a little bigger if i measured them front to back, but they were only about an 1'' short from what they would be with no weight on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
