Tire Width

Postby Tzoom » Sat Dec 12, 2009 10:35 pm

Can anyone give me the width of a 32 x 14 x 15 slick at its widest point (the sidewall bulge)? I want to mock up the tires for installing my wheel tubs, etc. TIA.........Steve

Let me ask it another way. How much bulge is there in the sidewall. 1"? 1-1/2"? More?

Did you try looking up the specs on the manufacturer's site Steve? A lot of times they will list the section width - which is what you're looking for - for a given rim width for each tire.
