true tyre sizes?

Post by j-top paj »

anyone know the true tyre size of a 35x12.5r15 bfg mud?
just thinking bout my next set of tyres and dont really want to get anything smaller than what i have.
been thinking bout claws but i know they are a bit smaller than true size.
also thinking of re-engineering the GU for bigger tyres if it can be done

According to BFG's website, the true diameter is 34.8". What it is in practise though may be a different story.

thanks nastrytroll, but they are still the manufacturers sites. thought maybe it was possible to get an actual real size, not what they put on the sidewall

on the maxxis site it gives a measured size when you look at the specific tyre type eg. 35 12.5 r15 bighorn may be 34.6 in spec sheet
