The dimensions will vary a lot when comparing tires of the same size from different manufacturers, models and ply ratings. I lined up about 5 different tires on the counter at Sacramento Sky Ranch looking for the smallest diameter only to discover that inflation changes everything. The largest became the smallest after inflation, etc. etc.. Changing the subject slightly, Michelin "Air Stop" Tubes leak down at about 1/10 the rate of other brands. Well worth the extra cost. I'll take partial credit for this product since I suggested it to Michelin Reps at Sun n Fun a few years before they came out. Steve Colwell Legacy (530) 621-3408 Placerville, CA
