Hard to find a 315 that's actually 35". The T/A KO2's are just over 34"

Those are metric inches.

Those tires were created by marketers.

It’s like TV’s sold by class, not actual size. 50 inch class might be 48.5. Let’s hope it doesn’t make it to other items such as those in grocery store. Steak is in the 1lb class. But you get 11oz.

You will notice after you have been at this for a while that very few tires are actually true to size. Even more so that a tire under load is going to be a half inch or so shorter than advertised. I have BFG KM 3 37's and they are at best 36.3 under load. I had Gladiator Xcomp 37's on my JK and they have been the only true to size under load tire I have ever owned.

Your technique is flawed as measuring under load from the ground reduces the lower radius. My spare radius measurement is 17 3/8” so 34.75” diameter…

Goodyear specs them as 34.4” https://www.tire rack.com/tires/Spe...ar&tireModel=Wrangler+Territory+MT&isSEO=true

The popular 35x12.5x17’s are mostly spec’d 34.5”

Ahhh, ..... reality handing out another crash course in how tire sizing works. We've been here before.

Welcome to 2021 again!
Your Bronco awaits!
Stay Pumped!

Fun fact:

35x12.50R17 tires are also not 35" tires.

Welcome to the world of tires.

i guess you also believe a 2x4 is actually 2x4? JK

I bet you think that strippers like you too.

What does this have to do with Ponzi schemes?
