Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
Thanks Ken. Yes, I look in my mirror and soon as I see a little smoke I drive out of the water.

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
By the dimensions provided it should be a slightly larger tire than Hoosier's 94"...I have never put the tape to either one tho.

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
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...

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
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.

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
Thanks Rich. Just wanted to confirm that we were on the same page on the "slightly larger" measurement...

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
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.

Re: Goodyear 4457 Radial
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.
