Just a thought...... the section width in the specs is a "nominal" value. 305mm is 12.0", but there is a +/- in the nominal size. The classic example is say the older 315/35-17 Nitto drag radial, that looks OK (maybe a little "bulgy") on a 9.5" wide wheel vs. the same size BFG drag radial that requires a 10.5 to 11.0" wide wheel for the right fit.
Same with the aspect ratio (%). Not a precise number. As a result, the same size tires from different companies, or even 2 different tire models from the same company, can have a slightly different outside diameter than the "calculated" value. Special tires like drag tires, off-road tires, and auto-x tires seem to have the widest variation from nominal size.Last edited by Injuneer; 06-12-2017 at 04:33 PM.
