Just wondering what the height measure on tires is intended to mean. My
31*10.5 BFG TA's, with 30 PSI, on a 3,500 lb TJ, with about 2/3 tread left, measure 29 5/8 tall. Is the measured height usually that much less than the "spec" height?CD

The overall diameter of that particular size tire should be 30.7" when new. See all the BFG AT specs here:
My BFG's measure pretty close to spec for 'height'. However height is measured with no vehicle sitting on the tire making that flat spot.... Or I can measure it side to side with the vehicle sitting on it and get the 'length' of the tire which is closer to spec.
