New Tire Question

ScottmanZ · 09-23-2011, 08:06 PM

I just replaced the stock tires on my 40th and I have a question about the overall tire diameter.

I had my shop install a set of General G-MAX AS-03's....245/40ZR19's in the front and 275/35ZR19's in the rear. When I got home I noticed that the rear tire diameter look WAY smaller than the front. I know the fronts are supposed to a bit taller than the rears, but it just looked way more off than with the stock tires. I measured the overall diameter of the back and they are 25.5" compared to the front which are 26.5".....a whole inch seems wrong to me. The rear tire gap is way more now than it was with the stocks.

Thoughts anyone?
