    Good evening gents, Any body have an inflated coker classic L-78 they could measure height please? Advertised at 29.30" but who knows. Just measured my firestone 8.20 dragster pie crust advertised at 30.50 and it was barely over 29"!?
    Thanks!

    I measured one on the car, measured side to side, from the center of the tread, came in at 29.0 or thereabouts.

    That's after having the tire shaved to make it round, and putting a few thousand miles on it.

    The pair I bought in 2022 were out of round...

    Thanks for taking the time to help out Squirrel! What a nuisance having to shave the tires.

    Denny, when I read the title of this thread, I thought the same as you! What measurement of a 396 do they need!
