Why do the actual size {OD} always run smaller than listed? I just got BFG 30x9.5" A/T KO's for my tj. They're supposed to have an OD of
29.5". I had the stock GSA 30" and ran 'em to till they were done. Well these BFG's look a bit smaller to me than the GSAs. I'm not sure how to check this correctly, but I took a tape measure from the concrete up to the top edge of tire, and it's well under 29" at the edge. Just about 28.5"! Not really what I was going for. I have them at 29 PSI.
I went with the 30's over the 31's, because I wanted the narrower 9.5" width. Is it normal for them to vary this much? Hell, I thought I was buying
30" tires!
I like the tires A LOT more than the stock ones, but I'm thinking I want the 31's after this. Only problem is dealer won't return them even after one day.
