Not a fun rideI'll bet you can get 35" with around 150 psi of helium.

Yes, their loaded height won't match the numbers on the sidewall.Any thoughts on Yokohama Golandar g003 MT?
That there's funny, I don't care who you are!Yes, their loaded height won't match the numbers on the sidewall.
35X12.50R17LT | D | Blk | 119Q | 10.0 8.0-11.0 | 3,000 lbs @ 50 psi. | 34.8 |
Just imagine how mad folks would be if they bought say a 35 12.50 15 and it measured 36 tall that way when it was worn out it would still be 35, I think most folks just wonder around looking for something to gripe about!!!!!Yes, their loaded height won't match the numbers on the sidewall.
Next thing ya know, people will be expecting a 2x4 to measure 2x4 inches!Honestly I thought anyone who had been buying bigger tires, knew they were always a shade shorter than advertised.
See, if you want to bitch about something, that there is something worthwhile. The ignorant peasants sued Home Depot and others because a 2 x 4 S4S doesn't actually measure 2" x 4" which is reserved for rough cut material which is what a 2x4 starts life as. Now due to the morons who didn't want to learn how lumber is measured, we have to have all these stupid little disclaimers on every piece of wood giving you the "actual" size. S4S means it is surfaced on four sides so you don't get splinters in your grubby little crumb snatchers and it meets industry building standards so all stinking walls wind up with similar dimensions and blue prints work.Next thing ya know, people will be expecting a 2x4 to measure 2x4 inches!

Wouldn't a more accurate method be to take the weight of the vehicle off the tire and measure the circumference with a flat tape. Then take that number and divide by PI to calculate the diameter? This would take the contact patch (flat spot) out the measurement. You probably still won't get 35" but you might get closer to it.
When was the last time you calibrated your tape measure it may be off!
Many manufacturers are listing revolutions per mile in their specs now. Wether or not that actual or calculated value I don’t know. End of the day “who cares”. I have never gotten out of my Jeep on a trail and measured an obstacle to see if I can clear.
I still have no idea how a tire manufacturer knows how heavy my Jeep is, what psi I run, or how they could calculate revolutions per mile for my setup without asking me anything.
Same way Rockjock knows that our front springs give “5 inches of lift”
Could insert any brand in there. Point being tires are a spring. I just picked RJ due to their semi recent change of labeling the same springs from 4” to 5” springs now.Why does it have to be RJ? Do any aftermarket spring sellers advertise a variable lift height calculator based on weight?
Just take the wheel & tire off the jeep. Then measure the tire, inflate the tire until you get the desired height your looking for. Re-install it and you now have the proper 35" tall tires your looking for. Sounds simple to me
PS: Your jeep may ride a bit rough but that's fine, after all its all about the look not the function
