I have them on 17 inch rims not 100% sure the size I ended up with but if you go to tire rack you can search that tire in available sizes and the give you the overall size I believe mine was 32.7 inches I will check the size when I get a chance

Btw love the tire !!!

He is looking for measured size, since that can be different (sometimes much smaller) than the size listed in the specs.



I know this is a different tire in a different size, but as an example -
the spec on my current RockyMountains is 36.3" x 13.1". Plugging the 325/80/16 into an online calculator gives 36.50" x 12.8". And very un-scientifically, just using a tape measure and a board across the top, I measured the spare at 36.50", and a front tire (at 28psi under normal vehicle load) at 35.50". So they seem to be fairly true to size, and I lose about an inch from vehicle weight. (btw, 35.5 is what I put in the programmer, and the speedo matches gps.)

On general tires web site they list the specs for 305 70 16 grabber at2 as being 32.8 in dia. when the actual measurement is exactly 32 in. @ 35 lbs. measured with a straight edge across the top of the tire to the concrete.

Thanks for the responses. Yes I was looking for measured values as I have heard some tires as much as 1.5in shorter than manufacture "spec." I know in the grand scheme (for my application) that .5" is going to amount to nothing, just curious about this particular tire because it is the one I cant find much real world info on.
