Are 35's really 35 inches tall?

The manufacturer also post the height of tires unmounted, so there is no weight of the vehicle or air pressure variations etc accounted for in their measurement/advertised height.

yeh, not to happy about the whole thing. But hey, next set will be 36 or 37's so i can have a legitimate 35. I found some links a few weeks past from a diesel forum (i think) where they were compiling actual real world measurements for tires. IIRC Nitto looked pretty true to size.

My 35" MTRs are 34.25" on 8" wheels via Supechips to get the speedometer correct. Rears inflated to 35psi, fronts 30psi. I'm sure there is a difference between the front and rear height, but taller than my Toyos of the same size.
