I got a set of 35 12.50 15's Falken wildpeaks on 15x8 wheels. They measure 33.25" with 32lbs. I understand no tire will measure the actual size but this is a bit of a rip off. I was looking for at least 34". Does this sound like the norm for the Falken or am I the only one with this problem?

Thanks,Discount tire.
I'm happy with the service and installation from Discount Tire Direct and overall I'm happy with the tires. I have had other 35" tires ( Copper Stt 35 12.50 15) and they measured 34.25 and I was has happy with that. All I'm saying is if a tire company is going to put a measurment on a tire the tire should be at least close to it. Believe me If I lost 1.75 inches, my wife would be complaining to (if you know what I mean). I just think Falken could get a little closer to advertised size. We pay alot for tires!!! Again I want to say I was very happy with the service from Discount Tire Direct.

Tire height is typically measured following the contour of the sidewall to the top/bottom of the tread. If you were to factor this into the measurement, the overall diameter will be close to what Falken has listed on their site.
