northernchris Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anyone know what the overall diameter a 9.00x16" would be? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 9 + 9 + 16 = 34" In theory, in practice I've heard of them varying from 34" - 36" Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought a Imperial tyres aspect ratio was 100% of the tread width, somewhere in the region of 34 to 36 sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istruggle2gate11 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anyone know what the overall diameter a 9.00x16" would be?Chris Hi mate, Just been outside and measured a set, these ones (michies) are 36" XZL as used by the military. Pictured on the series 1 during last years tube wing build, never used. Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdicky Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 As Ralph says, it should be 100% aspect ratio, so 9" wide, but also each sidewall is (in theory) 9" high. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 As Ralph says, it should be 100% aspect ratio, so 9" wide, but also each sidewall is (in theory) 9" high.Richard after years of just reading, thought i'd finally register and start things off with a nerdy post. i'm led to believe imperial sizing is infact 92% of width, but i cant remember the sources of such info. and those tyres pictured ar not 9.00's, but 255/100r16's as denoted by the split in the middle block of tread (allegedly introduced as older xcl's had a tendency to split down the single middle block) although you can probably read it on the side. mighty fine tyres as you may have ascertained from the e-e website waxing lyrical about them. i'd add a piccy of them on a 110, but i dont think you can attach files on this forum. if you're considering using them they're super heavy and can make braking interesting and will doubtless destroy stock drivetrain unless you're street cruising. you probably wont be able to burst them off road too easily though. as i cant post any landie pics, here's some cruisers wearing them http://www.desert-tec.de/desert1.jpg http://www.desert-tec.de/desert3.jpg that one has 9.00's not 255/100's http://www.desert-tec.de/tunis7.jpg http://www.desert-tec.de/mau1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 If you use your 'My Controls' you can create a folder in the gallery and upload your pics to there. These can then be linked too. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
