Re: [FWDLK] Tiresome topic

Hiya Tony! Funny thing; Horrie's @ the Doctor's, for a "make-over"
(re-painting), so his spare tire (OEM 8x14" bias ply) is outside. I just
measured its  o. d., and recorded approximately 27.5" --it's definitely
taller than the P225/75 R14's  which he's wearing, now.

Does anyone know the o.d. of the P235's ?
This measurement would be "un-loaded".

I also wonder what the actual "loaded"  'height'
would be, of both tires (for odometer/speedometer - recording purposes).

I presume that the "loaded-ride-height " of the radials would be
considerably 'smaller' than the outside-diameter of the "loaded" bias
plys.

Anyone done any real-world comparisons?
