By the dimensions provided by both Goodyear, and Hoosier, the only dimension that is larger on the Goodyear is section width.... Goodyear = 12.0 Hoosier = 11.3...

Hence the description "slightly larger". Both show to be 94", but like I said earlier I have not put a tape to either myself. I was puzzled by an earlier post saying the Goodyear measured 92.375"...makes me want to run out and measure my 92.5" Hoosier lol. Matter of fact, I will measure it before loading the car this afternoon.

Thanks Rich. Just wanted to confirm that we were on the same page on the "slightly larger" measurement...

I taped the 92.5" Hoosier on our car before loading Saturday and it measured exactly 92.5 inches center of tire @ 20 psi. I still can't figure that measurement Larry came up with for the Goodyear tire unless it was a simple typo error.

Has anyone run these tires on a 8 inch rim. There is no room in my wheel wells for anything wider than a 8 inch rim. 1967 Plymouth GTX.

Rich I will recheck rollout.

John I have a set on nine inch wheels I will check width of tire.

I think Goodyear measures the rollout at a certain mph.
