Title: 31" Hoosier for LR tire. Can anyone confirm 31" Circumference? Post by: two_tenths_off on April 14, 2009, 11:58:49 AM Hoosier 31.0/4.5-5 Tire
Can anyone confirm that on a wheel of "x" width that this tire will have a 31" circumference mounted with "y" amount of air pressure? Right now I can make 30.5 with a Dunlop R6 and 31.5 with a Dunlop DCS but I would like a 31" LR in my "toolbox" too and rather someone be able to confirm that it will measure out to 31". Thanks in advance! Title: Re: 31" Hoosier for LR tire. Can anyone confirm 31" Circumference? Post by: goffin20 on April 14, 2009, 01:13:43 PM My Hoosier 31.0/4.5-5 on a 5" wheel comes out to be 31 1/4. My Dunlap DCS 10x4.5-5 on a 6" wheel comes out to be 31". You can also use a 10x4.6-5 Vega Yellow on a 6" wheel.
You can use the Hoosier but you will have to grow the tire and I have not tried with the new Hoosiers. I used to do the older ones but really have not had the time or patients to give it a shot and just bolted on Dunlaps. ;-) Title: Re: 31" Hoosier for LR tire. Can anyone confirm 31" Circumference? Post by: sfreitas20 on April 14, 2009, 03:34:51 PM Yes, I bought a set of the 31-4.5x5 hoosiers and my LR was a little less than 31" on a 6.5 inch rim. I had to grow it some to get it to where I wanted it, but you can get a 31" LR with the 31-4.5x5 tire.

If you blow one up with no lube, no strap and a ton of air, chances of stretching the cords in the tire where it wont relax to normal is pretty great. Dirt compounds seem to be a little less prone to this but also will be almost impossible to shrink when you get them too big.
