Question actual height of ET street DR: 275/50/15 and 255/50/16

I was wondering if anyone knows the actual mounted height of ET street drag radials in 275/50/15 . My friend has either a 255/50/16 or 255/60/16 on a 7 inch pony rim and he said it measured 24.7 inches. Both the 275/50/15 and 255/60/16 are listed as 26 inch tall by MT.

I can take a pic on lunch, but I can almost guarantee the 275/50r15 is under 26" tall mounted. I used to run 295/50r15s and even they were just under 26" tall iirc.

For a 275/50/15 it's 25.82" if you do the math, and a 255/50/16 is 26.04", but you really need to contact MT is find out under what conditions they get their measurements.

For some reason 25.7 is sticking in my mind.

Sorry

I just measured real quick on lunch and I guess I was mistaken. They measured out to just over 26", right at 26 1/4" unless my tape is wrong. This is on a 15x8.5" wheel, not on the car but inflated to around 22psi.

I think my memory was flawed and my 295/50 were closer to 27".

Angle is bad, I was in a hurry. Looking at it straight on it looked right at 26.25" in the middle of the wheel/tire.
