Title: Hoosier 34.5 6.5 6 Circumference on 8.5 inch wheels Post by: two_tenths_off on June 15, 2009, 11:47:57 AM I was baffled a few weeks back when I mounted a 34.5 Hoosier on an 8.5 inch wheel and my circumference came out at 33.75.
As a test I purchased two more Hoosiers and went through my wheels and found two identical 8.5 inch wheels. I mounted the tires and they came out both right around 34". Is that what others are finding? To get a 34.5 or 35 do you need to mount on an 8" wheel? Thanks!

I have heard that mounting on an 8" wheel helps but I have not tried as I have a case of new 8.5" wheels left to use. :-( I have also found that the sizes are not consistant when mounting them.
