Thanks for that!

You know how you come across those trailer mounted radars every now and then that shows the posted speed limit and your current speed? I seem to get readings on current speed that are about 10% lower than my speedometer reads, so I would like to go to a bit taller rear tire to regain some of that speed and make my speedometer more accurate. Now to figure out the corresponding diameter/circumference issues, time for a calculator!

I see lots of sites carry the 28X12/15 and the 30X12/15; but, not so many carry the 29X12/15, only a few do. It all seems to be related to rim width, but I can't seem to make any sense of whether it is minimum rim width or maximum rim width. All of the sites that carry those tires list them as "LT"...does that mean "Light Truck", as in perhaps SUVs?

Gotta do something about these BFG's....like riding on ice at times, the rubber is so hard!

Cheers!
