32.75 @ 42 psi.

Orlando,Sammy,thanks.I'm not surprised that it measures less than it calculates,but that is a bigger difference than I expected.This might explain why the SE,LE's without Big Tow or Offroad turn very close to the same RPMS as the XE's(a very,very little over 1500 RPMS at 60 MPH);my calculations using 32.6" indicate about 55 rpms less for the SE,LE at 60 mph,but most folks say 1500 at 60(and 1750 for Big Tow 18's or offroad with the 285 17's that calculate to 32.6" also).The 17 245/75 calculates 31.4",but measures 31.2".Thanks,Charlie

Phoebisis, just to clarify, those numbers were the factory dimensions of the tire, not metric to standard conversions. Just to see if GoodYear was close, I went out and measured mine. I got 32.5" at 44 psi. That's pretty close to the factory's claim of 32.6".

Sammysandbag,32.5"-pretty close to the 32.6" claimed.The goofy "name"phoebisis is my 2 dogs names combined Phoebe and Isis.I goofed and left out the last e in Phoebe.Easy to remember,thanks,Charlie

No problem, I'll just call you Charlie from now on.

Sammy,I will be in your neck of the woods sometime in the next month;give me a honk if you see a Red XE KC. I wonder if your billet grill will fit on an XE-looks good?Guess it would,grills must be the same??Charlie

[Sammy Sandbag]

I would think all the grills are the same. The only difference is one is color matched bumper and the other has the chrome piece. I'll keep a look out for a Red Titan. So far I've only seen silver, smoke, black, and canteen on the road down here.
