Re: Tire height surprise!!!!!
The only thing is Johnnie---when you are running at speed the tires are going to expand and gain in height. How much--who knows. So don't take the static, cold measurement as an absolute when trying to gauge motor rpms at speed. Just sayin---

Re: Tire height surprise!!!!!
My cart was bought with four Links tires of the same tread pattern. At 15psi, standing the front ones next to the rear ones there is almost an inch of height differential despite the embossed size on the sidewall being identical. I dunno. Maybe the shorter ones are later production?
For whatever it is worth, the used spare I bought a couple of years later to mount on my swing-away carrier is the same height as the front ones. |

WARNING: These calculations (and those provided by all online tire dimension calculators) only reflect nominal tire dimensions, which are often subtly or substantially different than the tire's actual physical size and/or the dimensions provided by the tire manufactures. Actual Tire Section Width is Dependent on Wheel Width All tire sizes are assigned specific rim widths upon which they are measured (measuring rim), as well as can often be mounted on slightly narrower or wider wheels (rim width range). Therefore, it is important to note that actual tire section width will depend on the wheel width the tire is mounted on. The rule of thumb is that tire section width changes by 0.2" for every 0.5" change in rim width, being reduced if mounted on narrower then measuring wheel and increased when mounted on wider wheels. |

Re: Tire height surprise!!!!!
So we have an excuse when we get speeding tickets. Sorry officer/judge, my tires increased in diameter, so my speedometer was reading low.

Re: Tire height surprise!!!!!
So if you buy one replacement tire, it's not going to match and if you buy a new set there're not going to match. WTH, I smell a class action and JohnnieB gets paid for his motor-

Didn't even transpose them, just typed the wrong numbers in the wrong order. Worst part is that I didn't notice it when I glanced back to see what you were talking about. |
