I ordered the 20" rears... missing the fact they are 10" tires instead of 11"... and right now, unmounted, they are measuring about 19" tall.

Will they be 20" when mounted, or do these rears run an inch smaller?... And if so, is the same true on the 21" rear... is it 20" actual?

The rears are a tad smaller then 20 when mounted

Yes, the 21" measure closer to 20

Cody loves his GNCC's....although he shredded a brand new one, but I cant blame the tire 100%...they are thick sidewalled

:D

Do you have any more specifics than...

"a tad smaller than 20"
"closer to 20"


Ordinarily specifics would not matter that much, but in this case I ordered a 22" front tire and a 20" rear tire to achieve a particular quad setup...

I just needed to raise my front end a 1/2" ideally.


I didn't mean to raise my front 1/2" AND lower my rear 1/2" too.

That might put me out of range... but if the tire is like only 1/4" shy of 20" inflated, that would probably be OK.

I have twenty inch rears and when they were brand new, they measured 20 inches.

Maybe I'll be OK then...

there's such a small difference in size that you wont notice it. you will notice the amount of traction you'll get

Mine aired right up to 20" for the rears.


The 22" fronts aired up to 22.5"
