Could someone who has mounted 30x3.5 Blockley tires please measure the diameter to the outside of the tire? Thanks!

I gather from this the Blockley 30x3-1/2" is an "oversize" tire ?

Perhaps we need to know what an original tire OD was when measured - not by the advertising numbers


From Blockley website 31.3" OD https://www.blockleytyre.com/product/30x3-5

Those tire spec dimensions would be inflated off the ground. Even a 30 X 3.3 tire inflated to 60#'s looses height on the ground, as shown by Kevins tape measure.
