Default Cooper S/T Maxx 255/80r17 true height

Does anyone know what the mounted height is for Cooper's 255/80r17? I don't think my google-fu is strong enough. I found one single post on another forum saying that they are about 32 1/4" - 32 1/2", but I wanted to see if there is any other input.

Expect a range of diameters with variables of wheel; wheel width; air pressure; rig weight.

Well, I can answer my own question, since I have this tire on my Jeep now. The height, mounted on a 2 door 2015 Willys Wheeler, stock weight, is about 32 -1/4". The stock BFG MT was at 31" mounted. I gained over 1", which is what I wanted. I'll see in the following days how it performs on and off road.

I noticed a very weird and kinda worrisome thing while looking at the tires from the rear. The right side front & rear wheels/tires are flush with the fenders, while on the left side, both front & rear stick out visibly. Huh... I have 1.5" spacers, and a TF 2.5" lift kit. Is this something that an adjustable trackbar would fix?


EDIT: Yep, rear and front trackbars should fix this. Learning something new every day...
