I am having a small verbal disagreement about tire OD's and can't find a chart that shows tire outside diameters. Where can I find one?

Appreciate your help.

Mind you individual tire deminsions vary by the manufacturer

Using the Tire Rack chart and another that I found, here's what I calculate:

875-16 1/2 tire OD is 29.4 inches, divided by two, the radius is 14.7 inches
225/75R16 tire OD is 29.5 inches, divided by two, the radius is 14.75 inches

These calculations are a little different from yours, Dave Mumert, but the conclusion is the same, the difference in the radius of the two tires is minimal so the ride height recommendations in the manual are still good.

Thanks all,
