[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1807440, member: 19817"] There most certainly is an "accepted dimension" for the "old" tire sizing. If there wasn't it would be impossible to ever buy a different tire as there could be nearly unlimited difference in height. I've never seen a 9.5-24 that's 30" tall or one that is 80" tall, everyone is between 41 and 42" tall because that is what the "accepted dimension" is for that tire. To use your example of a 14.9-24 I looked thru 20 different tire specs everything from pivot tires, R4 industrials, turf tires, Nokia snow tires, to multiple R1s and there was 3.3% difference in the height. I also did the same for about 10 different 520/85R38 tires and there was 3.1% variation. I dont care how much of an expert you think you are. The numbers and % of variation tell me that metric size tires aren't very much closer to their "actual" size. On that now I'll bow out of this cluster. I'll still take the 18.4 tire any day of the week. [/QUOTE]
