Looks Great! We managed to fix an issue with the 4WD actuator for the front axle, fix a slight rubbing issue, and get a good reliability run on the ZR2...I also found that there large discrepancies in advertised tire specs... 31x10.50 turned out to be 29.6 x 9.8?? The new shoes are 31.6 X 10.4... Tight fit, but really fills it out nicely...Patrick & Tammy

Your right Patrick on tire sizes, I always look up the tire's spec's on a tire website ( tire rack, tire kingdom ) and even then it still might be off some but it might give you a little more info to work with. Seems like tire manufactures all have their own style tape measure's and I'm not sure if they can even read them.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

me thinks that the tire manufacturers are going the way of the lumber mills... anybody see an actual 2X4 lately??? that's why I tend to overbuild construction projects... today's 2X6 rafter on 24 centers doesn't look too strong...Patrick & Tammy

285 mm divided by 25.4 = 11. + something inches- maybe like 7/32? WIDE (where the hell are all the calculators when you want one?) so you got shortchanged (or lucky not to rub) on both tires Gregg. Now how the manufacturer's measure them I cannot say.

roughly 11.220
11 7/32 (11.21875) is damn good math if you did that in your head!Last edited by Beagle; December 2, 2015, 05:55 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for these Generals. I won them playing "Clarence Says" on Power Tour this year! I think they will be good tires, just hope I don't have to do too much additional clearancing to accommodate them.Hot Rod Power Tour...As much fun as you can have in a car with your clothes on!!

That's why I always have the tire store size up my tires that way if it's screwed up its their screw up and it cost them to fix it.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

P.S. - I put a tape across the tread of my P285/50R20's (summer tires now off for winter) and tread width was 11" - if you eyeballed sidewall to sidewall it might be considered 11.22"Phil / Omaha
