Short 35's
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.

Our number one goal is our customers complete satisfaction. That being said, if you would like to swap the tires out for another brand we would be happy to do that for you.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.
